The tool holder is also a consumable. The service life of the tool holder is based on the user’s usage habits and the frequency of the cutting tool change. If the user’s usage habits are not good, it is easy to cause the tool holder to wear; when the cutting tool change frequency is relatively high, the tool holder wear is going to be faster. We would suggest the user to clean the tool holder and replace the new tool holder regularly for the cutting tool machining.

The Tool holder maintenance steps

1.Inspect the tool holder

It is important to ensure that the tool holder is not damaged during machining. It is important to note if the appearance of the tool holder is bumped, and if the locking device for the cutting tool is installed is deformed or not and if locking device is excessively worn.

2.Inspect the tightening screw

Check if the tightening screws are with deformation or wear. If the screws are worn out, replace them with new ones for cutting tools tightening.

3.Clean the tool holder

Since the cutting process is likely to cause dust or chips to adhere to the tool holder, the tool holder must be cleaned with the spray gun.

4.Anti-rust oil application

If the tool holder will not be used on the machine for a long time, it is necessary to apply anti-rust oil for anti-rust maintenance, so as to avoid rusting in the future.
