Hello,
I have a Bridgeport VMC 760 that has BT40 spindle.
A lot of my tools get stuck in the spindle, and require a light tap with a mallet to get them out. The tool holders are new, and I've inspected the spindle bore taper, it is clean. I have proper air pressure.
what I notice is that one of the older tool holders that came with the machine has a longer pull stud and it comes out of the spindle without issue.
It's the only one that does, while any others that came with the machine and any new ones I purchased do get stuck.
I've got the manual and I've read it in and out, and there is nothing to tell me what height I should have the pull stud at.
Of course I did measure the one tool that works, but I'd like to do it the proper way and not just guess at it!
