Rineck produces a range of standard shrink-fit toolholders as well as custom tooling. In addition to standard 4.5-degree taper tools, 3-degree slim and extra slim tools are available. Most holders come standard with length-adjusting screws. Coolant delivery to the cutting tool can be achieved either through the center or flange of the toolholder, utilizing coolant jets or slots.      

In addition to shrink-fit toolholders, Platinum Tooling also offers shrink-fit machine technology. Equipped with an elevation cooling system, heated tools can be moved to a cooling tank with a push of a button. The Induktherm Rapid Shrink II VCS Machine’s smart design keeps accessories stored but close at hand during operation.  

For this new line of shrink-fit tooling and machine technology, Platinum Tooling is also handling application engineering, sales and service through a network of distributors across the United States and Mexico.

Established in 1966, Rineck started as a job shop for small parts, then became a producer of hydraulic parts for the mining industry and is now a globally recognized manufacturer of toolholding technology.
