Building a holder library and am wondering if anyone knows of a web page or site that dimensions out the holder geo sizes in more depth that what the nikken catalog does. im working with cat 40 taper mill chucks and just trying to get the best info possible on geo for the holder library Im building. thanks in advance..

All you really need it a major OD and the gage length, anything else is extraneous near as I can figure

thanks Jparis. this is the info im currently working with but one of the holders is not on the list for some reason. also Im trying to incorporate the slight down size of the nose part of the mill chucks and how tall the angle is at the nose where it tapers and decreases in size a few hundred thousandths.. thanks again.

I always model stuff as close as possible to the real thing. Never know when a situation will arise where you need to fit in somewhere. Especially in multi axis machining.

Contact Lyndex-Nikken and request a .dxf file of the tool you need. They don't have solid models of their tools, but at least you could revolve it and check it against the print.

I dialed mine in the old fashioned way--calipers and an optical comparator.

We have HPI holders at our shop.  I contacted them and the sent me a dxf / dwg of the tool holders I needed.  This made it super easy to build a holder in Mastercam.  I would contact someone and see if they have a model or dxf they could send you.

I ended up contacting Nikken today and the emailed me detailed dxf files for the holders I am building in my library. so if anyone needs dxf files for there holders don't hesitate to contact the dealers they will help you in any way the can I found out. thanks again for all the info..

I'm burying it as far as I can...so any chamfers and tapers matter
