Iso 30 tightening fixture

What are you guys using to hold the tool holders? Ive been using a large wrench to hold it and then tighten with a spanner. It works but I want something nicer. I’ve seen them at $300 plus and to be honest seems a bit much for that, haven’t seen anything really reasonable yet. What do you guys use?

Large 60mm adjustable wrench and an ER32 clamping nut wtench…

Thats exactly what im using now.:slightly_smiling_face:

You just make one, I think. Worst case, send cut send on a piece of plate with the right cutouts. Imagine something keyhole shaped.

I thought about it… for about 5 seconds.

While I am partnering with Send Cut Send to make all of the sheet metal parts for the carousel and dust manifold, their edge quality is typical laser cut and I have no interest in marring my expensive tapers.

But don’t let my laziness stop you :rofl:

I machined my own. Do you want the CAD file? Here it is: Fusion

FYI: The torque for an ER32 in a ISO30 is really high;

ISO30 retention knobs; ISO 30 Taper 0.535" 3/8" 36 ft/lbs
ER32 Collet w/Slotted Nuts; 100 ft/lbs

Same as above. Machined my own. Fusion 360 file attached

Here is an STL file exported from Fusion.

I made one out of a piece of angle iron. By the way you only one not two. Also the tiny label causes an imbalance. I also bought the blue thing which they said would work with ISO30, it didn’t. I fixed it to work but I didn’t think it wouldn’t take the toque.



I picked one of this up from amazon.

That’s the one I run. They work great.

I also use that yellow one (mine came orange tho) and its great. I have had too many bits slip to risk any hand tightening and anything aluminum just deforms under the 100 ft/lbs (also get a torque wrench and an adapter, better safe than sorry)
