Abstract
A tool holder assembly includes a first member formed with a cylindrical bore and a second member including a cylindrical portion receivable in the bore of the first member. A locator screw hole extends radially through the first member. The second member is formed with a conical face having a centerline perpendicular to its longitudinal centerline. A locator screw is threaded into the locator screw hole in the first member. The locator screw includes a conical nose adapted to engage the conical face of the second member when the locator screw is turned in a first direction. The locator screw cooperates with the conical face of the second member to radially locate the second member with respect to the first member.
