Kremin CNC Holder Retention Knobs

Premium heat-treated retention knobs engineered for superior durability, precision, and long-lasting CNC machining performance.

Looking for CNC Retention Knobs That Stand Up to Demanding Production?

Kremin CNC Holder Retention Knobs are manufactured for professional stone fabrication shops that demand maximum reliability from their CNC tooling systems. Built using Kremin's advanced heat-treatment technology, these premium retention knobs provide exceptional durability, superior spindle fit, and long service life under the toughest machining conditions.

Each retention knob features an extremely hard wear-resistant surface with a permanently infused hardness of Vickers 1880 (75+ Rockwell C), while maintaining a tough, impact-resistant core for outstanding strength. This advanced construction minimizes wear, reduces galling and surface flaking, and helps extend the life of both the retention knob and the machine spindle.

Precision taper grinding ensures accurate spindle engagement with minimal vibration, allowing CNC machines to operate more smoothly while improving machining accuracy. Kremin retention knobs are compatible with many of today's most popular CNC machining centers used throughout the stone fabrication industry.
