Technical Information Shrink Fit Axial Adjustment Gages Cutting tool length adjustment is performed using a special axial adjusting gage (b) before shrinking the cutting tool into the toolholder. This gage (b) is placed on the toolholder (a) along with the cutting tool (c). The length difference of the setting gage (l2) is calculated into the required tool assembly length. The whole assembly c can then be placed into a length presetter for adjustment. Rotating the gage moves the axial stop screw and presets the assembled tool to the required length. After removing the gage, the cutting tool can then be shrunk into the toolholder. b a I2 WWW.WIDIA.COM K59 Technical Information
