VTD-3 Mounting Aid — BT-#50 taper, horizontal & vertical mounting, Vertex

A VTD-3 Mounting Aid designed for secure horizontal and vertical spindle mounting and accurate tool alignment on BT-#50 spindles

• Robust 238 x 305 mm base for stable setup
• Compatible with BT-#50 taper and BT-#40 adapter
• 187 mm working height for precise alignment
• Massive 24 kg construction for vibration damping

Built for precise, repeatable spindle set-up

The device supports exact positioning for both horizontal and vertical assemblies thanks to the BT-#50 spindle interface and the option to use a BT-#40 adapter. The arrangement of the taper and adapter holder allows straightforward centring of toolholders, which reduces setup time and minimises repositioning errors. The heavy construction contributes to vibration damping, improving the stability of delicate alignments and ensuring consistent results across batches.

Stable foundation and clear dimensional advantages

A substantial 238 x 305 mm base together with a total mass of 24 kg provides a low centre of gravity and a secure footprint for workshop use. The 187 mm height gives good access for inspection and clamping while maintaining compactness on the bench. These measurable characteristics make the unit suitable for precision work where mechanical stability and repeatable geometry are required, translating into fewer reworks and higher throughput on complex assemblies.

Compatibility and practical use in the workshop

Designed around standard BT tapers, the aid accepts a BT-#50 mount and can be adapted to BT-#40 using the specified adapter holder; this ensures compatibility with common toolholding systems. The construction is aimed at machinists and maintenance engineers who need a dedicated mounting solution for checking, assembling, or storing holders off-machine. By simplifying the mechanical interface and providing a rigid reference plane, the assembly tool reduces handling time and supports more efficient process flows.
