Techniks 17870 CAT40 Tool Holder Tightening Fixture

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 17870 is a tool holder tightening fixture designed for use with CAT40 taper tool holders in CNC machining environments. It provides a stable, two-position base that holds tool holders securely while technicians tighten or loosen retention knobs and end mill set screws. Standing 5 inches tall with a base length of 4-13/16 inches and a base width of 96.80 mm (approximately 3.81 inches), the fixture gives machinists and toolroom technicians the leverage control needed to work safely without damaging tapers or collets. At 9 pounds, it is substantial enough to stay planted on a bench during use.

This fixture is suited for toolroom, setup, and production floor use wherever CAT40 tooling is assembled or serviced. The two-position design allows for holding multiple tool holder styles in a single unit, reducing the need for separate fixtures and streamlining tool change prep. It is commonly used in job shops, production machining facilities, and maintenance departments that run CAT40 spindle machines.
