VTD-8 Mounting Aid — Vertex toolholder support for SK-40 / SK-50 with compact footprint

The VTD-8 Mounting Aid is a dedicated toolholder support designed for horizontal and vertical mounting tasks in workshop and toolroom environments, enabling secure, repeatable setup of tapered toolholders and adapters.

• Compatible with SK-40 and SK-50 tapers
• Stable 238 x 305 mm base footprint
• 187 mm working height for compact setups
• Robust 25 kg construction for repeatable setups

Engineered for repeatable, accurate setups

The VTD-8 is engineered to reduce setup variation and improve concentricity when transferring toolholders between machines or fixtures. The unit accepts an SK-40 mounting and can be fitted with an SK-50x1 adapter holder, which simplifies adapting between tapers without improvised fixtures. By providing a defined reference for the shank and taper, the device minimises alignment errors and rework, supporting faster changeovers and consistent results across repetitive operations.

Stable footprint for reduced vibration and reliable holding

A broad 238 x 305 mm base combined with a substantial mass ensures the mounting aid remains immobile during handling and inspection tasks. The approximately 25 kg construction dampens small disturbances and lowers the risk of micro-movements that can compromise trueness. For workshops seeking to improve first-pass quality, the increased stability directly translates into fewer rejects and less time spent correcting misaligned assemblies.

Compact height for versatile placement and easy access

With a working height of 187 mm, the fixture fits comfortably on most benches and inspection tables while keeping the toolholder at an ergonomic level for adjustment and measurement. The capability to operate in both horizontal and vertical orientations allows flexible use for different procedures, from manual assembly to visual inspection and gauging. The compact vertical profile also helps when space on the shop floor or measuring bench is limited.

Practical design for integration into workshop workflows

Built by Vertex, the mounting aid focuses on practical integration rather than unnecessary complexity. The combination of standard taper compatibility, a robust base and straightforward adapter mounting makes it suitable for production lines, maintenance bays and toolrooms alike. Metav Werkzeuge’s European supply network and quality filter in Emmerich ensure reliable availability and traceable delivery for industrial customers who demand consistent tooling accessories.
