A milling tool holder axially having a shank with a tapered female opening, and
a tool holder having a tapered male end that fits into the female opening. The
narrow end of the male end has a bore. A plug having a threaded opening is inserted
in the bore in the tool holder to align the threaded opening to receive the threaded
end of a draw screw. The draw screw is turned to draw the tool holder and the shank
together. When the draw screw is turned in one direction, the two components are
drawn together, and when turned in the opposite direction the two components may
be separated. A camming plug in the narrow end of the tool holder expands the outer
surface of the tool holder to wedge the male end in the female opening.
