Hi All Was wondering what you guys think about loctiting cutters in place, as a principle.
First, here is a typical 2.2kW spindle <http://ugracnc.com/store/cnc-spindles/atc-spindles/ken-water-cooled-atc-spindle-2-2kw-220v-iso20-30000rpm-detail> . It has a max torque of 1.75N.m (ISO20 taper) Now what if I MADE a tool holder that looks.. like this <https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32893543034.html> shrink fit holder, but instead of shrink-fitting say, a 6mm jobber drill, I just loctited the bit in place. That's all. Below is the property of the Red loctite. I can't see how any drill bit or cutter would come loose given approx 20mm of engagement. (slip fit) While it is unorthodox, it's quite in keeping with today's glued-together world.. Does anyone see an obvious reason why it's not in practice? Roland PS, I don't ever want to remove it.. Type Typical color code Torque to break free(3⁄8-16 size bolt) Torque to continue turning Temperature range High strength ■ Red 230 in-lb (25 N⋅m) 225 in-lb (25 N⋅m) −54 to 149 °C _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
