Maybe a suggestion here from a pure noob! that is going to be using the same type of equipment soon (in the process of getting all the parts together).
Instead of buying the end mill holder for the Taig ready made, buy the blank arbor ones that requires you to drill the hole for the end mill diameter and the hole for the set screw (Taig part number 1132) that can be purchase for $1.90 per unit.
THis is one option I am going to do by ordering 10 of them.
Best regards

I have searched to no end for a sort of snap in, quick tool change set up that could work on a taig mill, but have had no luck.
I then looked at endmill holders for this purpose, and they seem to be the only option I can find.
So my question is, first does this even work? can I keep a predictable tool depth when switching holders with ends mounted in them?
and second, does anyone know of a better solution. If i'm spending $15 a piece for these for every tool I use regularly, it would be good to have them work for this purpose.
I know I havent been able to find anything out there on this, but I cant be the only one with this problem.
Thanks, any help is appreciated. |
