Mandrels
Mandrels (also known as spindle test bars or taper mandrels) are used to check spindle alignment, runout, and performance under various conditions.
Features:
-
Made from hardened, ground steel
-
Tapered to exact standards (BT, HSK, ISO, etc.)
-
Available in standard and customized lengths
-
High concentricity and minimal runout
Applications:
-
Spindle geometry inspection
-
Vibration and balance testing
-
Machine alignment checks
-
Diagnostic testing after spindle
-
rebuilds or repairs
Why These Tools Matter
