    Knob

    Knob with Pilot

    Lock tool holders in place on CNC machines with CAT taper spindles when milling, drilling, and routing. All meet industrial standards for tensile and shear strength. These knobs are also known as pull studs. To ensure compatibility with your machine, compare the features on these knobs, such as the location of O-ring seals and the pilot design, to those on your current knob. Use a torque wrench with a retention knob socket or a changeable-head torque wrench to tighten them.
    Knobs with a pilot ensure precise alignment between the tool holder and spindle, reducing vibration and runout. To upgrade a standard knob to one with a pilot, confirm that the pilot diameter is small enough to fit in your tool holder without touching the inner walls where the knob seats.
    Flange O-Ring Included—Knobs with flange O-rings block external coolant from entering your machine spindle. Match the O-ring placement and style to your current setup to ensure optimal sealing and performance.
    Grip Angle—Grip angle is the sloped part of the knob that the machine grips to secure the tool holder. A 15˚ grip angle is sometimes referred to as a 75˚ grip angle. A 30˚ grip angle is sometimes referred to as a 60˚ grip angle.

    Flange O-Ring Included—Knobs with flange O-rings block external coolant from entering your machine spindle. Match the O-ring placement and style to your current setup to ensure optimal sealing and performance.
    Ground Face—Knobs with a ground face have a tighter seal than those without one, which helps prevent coolant leaks.

    Prevent damage to CNC spindles and tool holders when installing knobs. These wrenches torque retention knobs to manufacturer specs to avoid overtightening that can bend or misalign your setup. Set your torque and the wrench signals when it’s reached with an audible click and an impulse in the grip. All come with a calibration certificate, which includes test measurements that confirm accuracy.

    CNC Retention Knob Sockets

    Install and remove retention knobs on machine tool holders with steep-taper shanks such as CAT and BT tapers. These sockets are precision machined to fit retention knobs, so you get a solid grip without harming the knob’s surfaces. That’s also why they’re made of hardened steel—they’re durable enough for frequent use yet softer than most knobs to prevent wear on the knob. With no damage to the retention knob, you’ll get a secure connection between the tool holder and your machine’s spindle and drawbar. Use a torque wrench (not included) to tighten the retention knob to your machine’s recommended torque.
    They’ll fit most knobs with the listed taper. To ensure compatibility, match your knob’s flat width, head diameter, and flange diameter to the socket dimensions.
