For TTS users, this helps off set how far down the tool goes into the Z axis.
CUTVIEWER MILL CHANGE STOCK DIMENSIONS PLUS
A low profile spindle is a big plus for the dual contact feature of the Tormach Tooling System if you have it. That's a HUGE disadvantage for damping on a small mill and can lead to chatter issues. Think about it for a moment.the only part of R8 tooling that comes in contact with the spindle is the short taper area.and nearly every other R8 spindle out there places the bearings in an area where there is absolutely no tooling contact with the spindle. Of course, for you, this produces better rigidity and vibration damping. This means your R8 tooling will also sit inside the bearing area.


This new low profile spindle configuration is a great option for those who already have a big investment in R8 or TTS tooling.or just like the idea of an R8 headstock system. Because we designed the BT-30 and ISO-20 with a low profile to solve those issues, we figured that we might as well do the same for the R8 systems. The further away from the bearings your cutter is, the bigger those issues become. The other major problems are precision, dampening and rigidity.

This creates increased pressure on the bearings.and nobody wants that. One of the common drawbacks to the R8 is how far the spindle sticks below the bottom bearing.
