Today's machine tools and cutting tool materials have dramatically increased potential for higher cutting speed, better accuracy and greater repeatability. However, these advancements are limited by conventional tool holding systems.

Set screw and collet chuck tool holders are the two most common used in the industry. Although sufficient in non-critical operations, these methods severely limit the speeds and precision that can be achieved.

Other types, such as hydraulic holders and milling chucks, allow for more precise machining, but they are more expensive, bulky and contain moving parts subject to statistical variance, wear and mechanical breakdown.

The Shrinker Tool Holding System breaks through the barriers of traditional tool holders, offering totally balanced high speed precision machining.

The Shrinker system is simple, elegant and economical. With no extra moving parts, once the tool is in place, the Shrinker effectively becomes an integral shank tool. This virtually eliminates tool deflection, vibration and slippage.

Using the Shrinker means your machining accuracy is dependent only on the machine tool spindle and cutting tool tolerances. No longer a weak link, finally a tool holder with total concentric gripping force!
