Parlec Inc. unveils its SimulFit Dual Contact Taper toolholding system. The system is available on ER collet chucks, shell mill holders, endmill holders and milling chucks.

"Parlec is pleased to offer this full line of SimulFit toolholders for CAT and BT at a very affordable price," said David Hartman, product manager. "Many shops have machining centers with a spindle designed for simultaneous fit or dual contact and aren't aware of it. The SimulFit system can be utilized by customers just like any standard toolholder, with the added benefit of improved performance."

The SimulFit system is designed to improve performance. With contact on the spindle face and taper, the SimulFit system offers improved rigidity of the tool connection. Because it offers a stiffer connection, this toolholder is ideal for high-speed machining applications, especially for use in heavy milling or long-reach systems.
