Abstract

A tool fastening device comprises a drawbar (21, 22; 47, 48) for clamping a tool holder (10; 40) to a spindle (11; 41) of a machine tool by frictional engagement with a conical bore therein. The drawbar is connected to the tool holder by radially expansible locking means (23; 50) on the drawbar. The locking means is actuated by means of an expansion rod (28; 52). For purposes of facilitating the operation of the expansion rod there is provided forcing means (30; 57) which continuously forces the expansion rod toward the tool holder.
