When we make endmill holders not only do we check concentricity inside the bore at several depths but we also put a gage pin in the holder tighten the set screw and check runout of the pin at 2x dia and 4x dia. This is very important and can sometimes show problems in grinding that may be hard to catch with just an indicator on the indside bore.
In the future when we make shrink fit holders we plan on doing the same gage pin test. The problem is that we will need to heat the holder to do this. So some customers will get a brand new holder that has been heated once and will show the typical color change on the nose. Is this a problem for you guys? I plan on putting a note on those holders explaining that this holder is still new and just cycled once for testing purposes. I personally wouldn't mind, but I would like some feedback from you guys.
