Technical Who’s got a pullmax? I have got a question.

What do the guts of the lower tool mount look like ?

What’s under the spanner nut ?
What’s in there?
Thanks

 

Post your question over on All Metal Shaping. Post it under Reciprocating Machines. Many experts over there.

I tried registering there and it said my Email was invalid. I get that more often than I like. My email certainly is valid though

 

Mine looks like the one on the right.

Under the big nut there is basically a wedge that puts even pressure on all 4 sides of the lower tool, so it stays centered even if you tighten it.

 

A picture would help greatly.

 

Try sending a message to the moderator(s). I have a gmail address and have been a member for years. AOL addresses are flagged as spam by most forums. Gmail seems to be following suit.

 

Oh THANK YOU !!

 

ER40-G square drive collet.

 

Looked at those,
the TAP collets are round on top to hold the shank and square on the bottom .

 

Machine corners into the round.

 

Those are for tool holders in a CNC mill.
Most collets are hard. If you can find the holder like a 5c block and a local shop with a wite EDM, you could have what ever sized square you want burned into them.
