DIY Induction heater for shrinker endmill holders?

That's good info for making a permanent shrink fit, but the trick with the tooling application is getting the tool out of the holder when you want to change tools. It's difficult.

I should point out that it's easy with carbide tool shanks, but very difficult with steel, because of carbide's lower coefficient of thermal expansion.

Not expecting the OP to use that page for his shrink fit, just passing along a source for information.

They have a lot of free information, videos, technical data, theory, application & How To's, including for this OP how to design coils, but he will have to navigate the site to find them all.
