ISO20 Tool Holder Clamp vs PwnCNC Tool Rack

Spindles and ATCs

Hello All,
I plan on ordering a OneFinity Elite with a PwnCNC ATC. I’m trying to figure out the miscellaneous parts I need to order (tool holders, dust collection, etc.) so that I can get cutting quickly. One thing I’m wondering about is tool clamps vs tool racks. To me tool clamps seem to have some advantages over tool racks, but I don’t see any discussion of tool clamps. An example advantage is that a clamp can easily accommodate wide tools like fly cutters. ISO20 tool clamps are readily available, can they be used with the PwnCNC ATC?

Hi Eric,
That conversation is a pretty in depth one with pros and cons

If you call us that conversation can be more easily had.

I agree tool forks have their benefits, but their drawback is tool length, so it’s still not one size fits all solution.

In the meantime here are some articles/sections to help your decision that’ll we’ll cover
