SIDE LOCK HOLDER

Product Description

A TRUNMAX Side Lock Holder is a precision tool holder used to securely clamp and hold cutting tools with a cylindrical shank, such as end mills, drills, and reamers, on CNC milling machines and machining centers. Manufactured by Turnmax Machine Tools, these holders are designed to provide a rigid and reliable connection between the machine spindle and the cutting tool, which is critical for demanding machining operations.

Key Features and Design

• Side Locking Screw: The primary feature of this holder is a single, powerful screw on the side. When tightened, this screw presses directly against a flat surface (a "Weldon flat") on the tool's shank. This mechanism provides a very strong and positive clamping force, preventing the tool from rotating or pulling out of the holder during heavy cutting.

• High Precision: TRUNMAX side lock holders are manufactured with precision-ground bores to ensure excellent concentricity and minimal runout. This high accuracy is essential for achieving tight tolerances and a superior surface finish on the workpiece.

• Durable Construction: The holders are made from high-quality, case-hardened alloy steel, which is then precision-ground. This robust construction provides exceptional rigidity and wear resistance, contributing to a longer tool life and a more stable machining process.

• Versatility: Side lock holders are a versatile choice for a wide range of applications, from roughing to finishing. They are commonly available in various shank types, such as BT, CAT, and HSK, to fit a broad spectrum of machine spindles.
