Value Collection C8888017 Arbor Spacer 0.047 in Thick

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C8888017 is a steel machine tool arbor spacer designed to provide precise axial spacing between cutting tools, collars, and arbor components on milling machines, lathes, and similar machining equipment. At 0.047 inches thick, this spacer allows machinists and tool room technicians to fine-tune tool positioning along a machine arbor. Constructed from steel, it delivers the durability and dimensional stability required in production and job shop environments. This type of spacer is a standard consumable in any well-stocked machine tool crib.

Arbor spacers like the C8888017 are used wherever precise axial tool placement is required on horizontal or vertical milling arbors. They are commonly installed during setup when spacing gang cutters, side milling cutters, or shell end mills to achieve the correct distance between cutting edges or between a cutter and a workpiece shoulder. Machinists, tool and die makers, and machine shop technicians routinely stock multiple thickness increments of arbor spacers to accommodate varying setup requirements.

Key Features

• 0.047 inches thick for fine axial positioning of cutting tools on machine arbors
• Steel construction provides rigidity and resistance to deformation under clamping load
• Compact form factor fits standard machine tool arbor configurations
• Sold individually, allowing purchase of only the quantity needed for the job

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style replacement or supplemental arbor spacer for use on conventional machine tool arbors where a 0.047-inch spacing increment is required.

Installation Notes

Arbor spacers are installed and removed by qualified machinists or tool room personnel during machine setup. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing arbor components. Ensure all spacers and collars are clean and free of chips or burrs before assembly to maintain accurate spacing and prevent arbor deflection. Consult machine tool manufacturer documentation for correct arbor torque and drawbar procedures specific to the equipment in use.
