COLLETS
This machine is supplied with a 6-7mm collet as standard. However, for most general operations TechSoft recommend the use of 4.36mm (11/64 inch) extended shank tools. These are simply inserted into the machine spindle using a TechSoft tool adapter. Tools can then be lowered onto the work surface, thus datuming the tool automatically. A locating ring can remain on the tool to allow them to be easily removed and replaced without the need for re-datuming. A 4.36mm adaptor and two locating rings are supplied by TechSoft with the machine.
Alternatively the 6-7mm collet allows the use of standard 6mm shank engineering tools and 1/4 inch woodworking router cutters. Additional collets (TA-COLLET-D34 and TA-COLLET-D45) allow the use of any of the Long Reach or High Hook tools listed below. This wide range of tooling allows activities as diverse as deep 3D machining and PCB engraving and drilling.
