Technical

Shrink holders made to exacting standards from quality materials and precise heat treatments for accuracy and durability.

High precision tool holders for induction shrink applications are manufactured from a specific material with a minimum iron content.
The induction process requires that the tool has iron as this is important for the heating process.
Years of material development have produced the ideal level.
The shrink process creates very high grip forces on the cutting tool
Tools have good balance and improve the cutting harmonics
The controlled heat treatments and precision grinding make the holders highly accurate and durable.
The tools are through hardened unlike standard tools that are case hardened.
The heating and cooling process allows the expansion and contraction to be controlled to prevent distortion.
This control makes for a large number of tool changes possible without compromising accuracy
Kelch offer an extensive range of holders and details are shown in the front of each shank type section
