5.3.5 Preparing the shrink fit chuck and the
tool
Always wear gloves when working with shrink fit
chucks and tools. The tools are sharp-edged and
there is a risk of being cut. In addition, the gloves
also protect you against burns in the event that you
accidentally touch a hot shrink fit chuck.
We recommend gloves made of Kevlar. Gloves of this
material are breathable and wear-resistant against the
sharp tools used. Kevlar does not melt and offers excellent
protection from burns.
Please ensure that
• The shrink fit chuck and tools are clean, free of grease
and dry. Special brass brushes are available to clean
the chuck.
• The cutter has a shank tolerance of h6 or better
• The shank is not uneven.
Scratches, ridges or even improper laser labelling can
complicate the shrink fit process.
Do not use any easily combustible cleaning agents
as they can create a risk of fire during shrinking.
• Clean the shrink fit chuck so that it is free of swarf and
cutting emulsion, etc., and dry it. Oily residues can burn
into the tool holder when heated!
Note: When a shrink fit chuck is put into storage, it should
be oiled lightly to provide some protection against cor-
rosion.
• Mini shrink fit chucks
Due to their thin walls, mini shrink fit chucks are very
easily overheated. For this reason mini shrink fit chucks
should only be heated with the shrinking and cooling
sleeve (56) in position (available as an accessory).
The shrinking and cooling sleeve (56) also serves as
an adaptor for cooling the chuck.
