Tool Holder ClearanceTool Holder ClearanceTool Holder ClearanceTool Holder ClearanceBe CarefulBe Careful

Radial ClearanceRadial Clearance� Limited clearance for long tools –

especially on the TMM (pictured)

� Measure before indexing turret

� Use offset toolholders when possible

AxialAxial ClearanceClearance� Limited clearance for long tools

� Clearance issues on both front and back side of turret (main & sub-spindle)

Balancing the WeightBalancing the WeightBalancing the WeightBalancing the Weight

Turret BalanceTurret Balance� Space toolholders to evenly distribute weight – unbalanced weight

could cause premature turret damage and wear

Tool Holder StylesTool Holder StylesTool Holder StylesTool Holder StylesVDI vs. BMTVDI vs. BMT

VDI TurretsVDI Turrets� Must indicate holders due to allowable

play in mounting

� Some holders have adjustment dials built-in to the holder

VDI AdvantagesVDI Advantages� Quick change-over

� More availability of flexible tool holder options than BMT

� Versatility – can be used on different turret styles (TMM or different turret styles (TMM or MY/MYS)

� Typically has higher quality bearings than BMT

� Can be adjusted for increased accuracy

BMTBMT TurretsTurrets� No need to indicate� No need to indicate

� Locating keys present on turret

BMTBMT AdvantagesAdvantages� More rigid setup

� Keyed for quick alignment – but also has no ability for fine adjustment

� Can be DIY if needed –make your own

� No part pull-back when closing

� Flexible – wide range of sizes

� Can clamp out-of-round or irregular shaped parts

DisadvantagesDisadvantagesDisadvantagesDisadvantages� Must grease daily

� Not as accurate as collets

� Difficult to change stock sizes

� Serrations can damage part surface

Collet ChuckCollet ChuckCollet ChuckCollet ChuckCollet ChuckCollet ChuckCollet ChuckCollet Chuck AdvantagesAdvantages� Easy change-over

� Chuck diameter is smaller –providing less interference

� Increased accuracy

� Low maintenance – no grease

DisadvantagesDisadvantagesDisadvantagesDisadvantages� More expensive

� Separate collet needed for each clamping diameter – requires storage of many collets

� Part can pull-back when closing
