Spindle taper grinding – precise geometry, secure tool holding.
A worn or damaged spindle taper leads to improper tool holding, reduced machining accuracy, and accelerated machine wear.
We provide precise restoration of CAT, BT, HSK, ISO and other tapers – according to OEM standards. We also repair damaged threads
in ER tapers as part of the full grinding process.
Spindle taper grinding is a process of restoring the internal taper geometry by precise regrinding and alignment. The goal is to eliminate wear, runout, and surface damage that affect tool concentricity and holding force.
Our technicians perform taper regrinding with micrometric precision – both at our facility and as an in-situ service. This ensures perfect contact between the tool holder and the spindle taper, guaranteeing full machining accuracy.
The spindle taper is the contact point between the CNC machine and the tool – its geometry directly affects machining accuracy, stability, and safety.
Even microscopic deviations can cause:
Spindle taper grinding restores perfect clamping geometry – improving holding force, reducing runout, and increasing overall machining stability.

Every spindle taper repair at BMS Spindle Service follows a multi-stage, precision process aimed at restoring the taper geometry and surface quality to OEM standards. This ensures consistent tool clamping and the highest machining accuracy.
We begin with a thorough assessment of the spindle taper using precision instruments. We analyze runout, wear, and contact quality, which allows us to plan the next stages of repair.
If the taper is difficult to access or severely damaged, we perform safe spindle disassembly to enable precise regrinding and quality control.
Using in-situ or stationary grinders, we restore the taper geometry and surface finish according to OEM standards. This eliminates runout, improves tool clamping, and boosts machining precision.
After grinding, we verify runout, surface quality, and tool contact using high-precision instruments to ensure compliance with requirements.
After reconditioning, the spindle is reinstalled in the machine and tested under load. We verify proper tool clamping and minimal vibration to confirm production readiness.
Tools may rotate or fall out of the spindle.
Solution – Grinding the spindle taper ensures perfect contact and secure tool clamping.
