The Weldon style has a set screw flat that's angled toward the cutting
end.
Tighten the set screw on it and the tool is forced upwards until the
deeper end of the flat contacts the side of the set screw.
That makes the too resistant to shifting axially, preventing loosening
or shifting of tool length.
Thanks, I can see it working now and have used them on shank tool
holders ( Bports etc )
So, the set screw squeezes the angle to bottom out the shank in the bore.
And, the end of shank and bottom of bore must be clean and solid.
I recall doubting what I had used ,
trying to jiggle and twist the tool with set screw just biting.
They didnt 'feel' like the tool was constrained,
The bore felt good, but the twist and length feature did not.
I didnt chcek but would expect the one cheek of the Weldon to have marks
from the screw.
But, considering the shop owner,
I was likely using cheap stuff from MSC ( who was down the street Elk
Grove Illinois ).

Cutting duties with 6mm end mills would still need a collets death
grip I think. YMMV of course.
He did mention Weldon Shank.
Ok, since I'm a new bee in terms of a weldon, what makes them magic?
Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett
