Value Collection 287-6022 BT40 Tightening Fixture 2 Position

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 287-6022 is a two-position BT40-compatible tool holder tightening fixture designed for CNC machining environments where consistent, damage-free tool assembly and disassembly is required. The fixture holds BT40 taper tool holders securely during tightening or loosening of retention knobs and collet nuts, preventing rotation and protecting both the holder and spindle taper from wear. With a head diameter of 3.74 inches and a base length of 8.26 inches, the unit provides a stable platform for bench-mounted use. Weighing 15 pounds, it stays firmly in place during high-torque operations. This type of fixture is standard equipment in machine shops and tool cribs serviced by CNC setup technicians and toolroom machinists.

This fixture is suited for use in production machine shops, toolrooms, and CNC job shops running BT40 spindle tooling. The two-position design allows a technician to secure the tool holder at two orientations, accommodating different collet nut or retention knob configurations. It is a bench-use accessory and is not mounted to the machine itself. Typical users include CNC machinists, tool crib attendants, and manufacturing maintenance personnel responsible for assembling and maintaining milling tooling assemblies.

Key Features

• BT40 taper compatibility for secure engagement with standard BT40 tool holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with BT40 taper tool holders as an OEM-style tightening and disassembly fixture for standard BT40 collet chucks, end mill holders, and similar tooling assemblies.

Installation Notes

This fixture requires no permanent installation and is placed on a stable workbench during use. Ensure the work surface can support the combined weight of the fixture and tool holder assembly before applying torque. Always use the correct spanner wrench or hook wrench rated for the collet nut or retention knob being tightened. Follow the tool holder manufacturer torque specifications when assembling retention knobs and collet nuts.
