Techniks 29002 Shrink-fit Tool Holder Adapter CAT40

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 29002 is a shrink-fit tool holder adapter designed for use with CAT40 taper shank spindles on CNC machining centers. It accepts tooling with a 1/8 inch hole diameter and features a 0.36 inch nose diameter, making it suitable for small-diameter cutting tool applications where precision runout and rigidity are critical. Through-coolant capability delivers cutting fluid directly to the tool tip, improving chip evacuation and extending tool life in deep-pocket or high-feed operations. At 6.19 inches overall length and 2.4 pounds, the 29002 fits standard CAT40 tooling setups without modification. This adapter is installed and serviced by CNC machinists and toolroom technicians.

The TECHNIKS 29002 is appropriate for use in vertical and horizontal machining centers equipped with CAT40 spindle interfaces. It is well-suited for high-speed machining applications where shrink-fit gripping provides superior concentricity over collet-style holders. Through-coolant support makes it a practical choice for drilling, reaming, and milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where thermal management and chip control are priorities. Typical installations are found in production machine shops, tool and die operations, and precision component manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• CAT40 taper shank for direct spindle interface on standard machining centers
• 0.36 inch nose diameter accommodates small-diameter shrink-fit tooling
• 1/8 inch hole diameter for precision small-shank cutting tools
• Through-coolant design channels fluid directly to the cutting zone
• 6.19 inch overall length suits standard reach requirements
• Shrink-fit gripping delivers high concentricity and gripping force

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style shrink-fit tool holder adapter for CNC machining centers with CAT40 taper spindle interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an induction shrink-fit heating unit to expand the bore for tool insertion and release. Power down and lock out the machining center before changing tooling or adjusting the tool assembly in the spindle. Follow the machine tool builder guidelines for drawbar torque and pull-stud specifications applicable to CAT40 holders. Allow the holder to cool fully and verify tool runout with a dial indicator before returning the spindle to service.
