The first thing to wear out on a CNC machine is often the drawbar!

Belleville springs hold the arbor in the spindle during cutting AND they are often the first thing to wear out on a CNC Machining Center. Just one broken spring has a huge effect on clamping force. Chatter, low tool life, poor finishes, less repeatability, and scrap parts are the result.

When a tool pulls out during a cut, major damage occurs to the machine and spindle. Machines are never the same after a crash.

Protect Your Spindles Avoid Unscheduled Downtime

Universal Gage Head

Test CAT, BT, ISO, HSK, CAPTO and others

Drawbars seldom get the attention they deserve. Checking it requires a specially designed tool. The Clamprite Gage simulates a tool in the spindle, reads directly in pounds of force, and checks your drawbar in less than a minute.

Thousands of shops in the U. S. and around the world use the Clamprite Gage.

Customers often say“ it paid for itself the first time we used it”

Std. Long Tapers

Works with all types of pull studs

The Clamprite Gage is the most economical tool for checking the drawbar force of your machine. Kits are furnished in a heavy metal tool box with tray and foam fitted liner to protect the gage head.

HSK and CAPTO spindles have higher drawbar force than long-tapers and should be tested more frequently. Regular maintenance costs far less than repairing the damage after a crash!
