Always use a tightening fixture to tighten the collet adapter nut. Using a vice in place of place of a tightening fixture can damage the indexing grooves and make it tough to get the adapter to seat. The adapters that we manufacture use a CAT30/BT30 taper and there a lot of 30 taper tool fixtures on the market. They are also available from our distributors.

To see an example of how the tightening fixture is used, go to the HOME page to watch our video.
