Components for tool setup
Before you can use a tool and place it in the tool library, it must be assembled securely in a tool holder.
 The tool holder is the interface with the spindle. |
 The tool holder nut is used to tighten the tool in the tool holder. |
 The collet acts as a clamp that tightens around the surface of the toll when the nut is tightened during assembly. It is tapered to mate with the inside surface of the tool holder. |
 The cutting tool is inserted in the collet during the assembly process. The depth of insertion is variable. |
