Value Collection 287-6028 CAT40 Tool Holder Fixture

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 287-6028 is a two-position CAT40 compatible tool holder tightening fixture designed for secure tool assembly and disassembly on CAT40 taper tooling. It provides a stable, bench-mounted platform that prevents the tool holder from rotating while a technician applies torque to tighten or loosen retention knobs and collet nuts. The fixture measures 3.74 inches in head diameter and stands 128 millimeters in overall height, with a base length of 8.26 inches. At 15 pounds, the cast base delivers the mass needed to resist movement during high-torque operations. Machinists and tool crib technicians working in CNC machining environments rely on fixtures like this to maintain proper tooling assembly without damaging tapers or collets.

This fixture is suited for machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments running CNC machining centers that accept CAT40 tooling. The two-position design allows the fixture to accommodate different tool holder configurations, making it practical for shops that run a variety of end mill holders, collet chucks, shell mill arbors, and similar CAT40 holders. It is a benchtop-use item and does not require mounting to machine tool spindles.

Installation Notes

Place the fixture on a flat, stable workbench surface before use. Ensure the tool holder is fully seated in the fixture before applying torque to retention knobs or collet nuts. No permanent mounting or power source is required for standard bench operation. Follow the tool holder and collet nut manufacturer guidelines for proper assembly procedures.
