A CNC and Lathe tool holder stand for BT40 and BT50 tapers is a storage or transport device, often a cart or rack, designed to hold and organize multiple tool holders for CNC machines. These stands are constructed from durable materials like alloy steel or cold-rolled steel and can feature a two-tiered design with a storage box. They provide convenient, mobile access to tools, enhance workshop organization, and are built to withstand heavy-duty use in manufacturing environments.
Key features and specifications
- Material: Typically made from durable materials like cold-rolled steel or high-alloy steel to handle heavy loads.
- Taper compatibility: Specifically designed to accommodate both BT40 and BT50 tool holders, which are standard tapers for CNC machines.
- Capacity: Designed to hold a significant number of tool holders, with some stands holding many dozens.
- Portability: Many are designed as carts with wheels, allowing for easy movement of a large number of tools around the workshop.
- Organization: Often feature a two-tiered design to keep tools organized and accessible. Some may include a storage box for additional small parts or accessories.
- Durability: Built to be heavy-duty and durable, suitable for use in demanding manufacturing environments like automotive, aviation, and furniture production.
- Protection: The stand’s design protects the delicate precision taper of the tool holder from damage while stored or in transit.
Why use a BT40/BT50 stand
- Organization: Keeps tools tidy and prevents them from being scattered, making them easier to find.
- Accessibility: Allows machinists to quickly and easily move a large selection of tools to where they are needed, improving workflow.
- Protection: Safely stores the tool holders, protecting the precision taper from damage that could affect machining accuracy.
- Efficiency: Reduces the time spent searching for the right tool, increasing overall productivity on the shop floor.
