    new toolholder sticking to new spindle

    we got a new machine with BT30 spindle and all new BT30 holders.

    the holders are sticking to the spindle taper. wiping some wd-40 on the taper helps, but problem seems to come back after the wd-40 evaporate.

    Is there a solution to help this? guess it's not a serious problem, but it just sounds so harsh during tool change.

    WD-40 tends to leave a residue as it dries so it is not your friend. Use a cleaner that doesn't leave residue like brake cleaner or alcohol.
