Wescon Long-Travel Taper-Lok Microstop Cages

Wescon heavy-duty, long-travel microstop cages are engineered specifically for Taper-Lok drill-reamers. Built to handle continuous high-thrust loads and deep-hole drilling, these cages provide the stroke length and rigid depth control required for interference fit fastener installation.

• Depth Control: Micrometer dial adjustment sleeve in .0005" increments.
• Locking Mechanism: Positive non-slip lock ring.
• Bearing Design: Heavy-duty enclosed ball bearings rated for 10,000 RPM.

Custom Taper-Lok Configurations & Application-Specific Skirts

Off-the-shelf tooling cannot accommodate every complex airframe geometry or proprietary drill template. Wescon specializes in the rapid engineering and manufacturing of custom Taper-Lok microstop cages designed specifically for tight-clearance applications and custom jig integrations.

Whether you need a modified skirt footprint to clear an adjacent stringer or a specialized nose to mate perfectly with a custom drill jig, our in-house machining division can build to your print or reverse-engineer a solution.

Custom Microstop Capabilities

• Specialized Skirts: Cutaway, offset, and low-profile skirts for restricted-access areas and tight radii.
• Drill Jig Integration: Custom slip-fit noses and specialized ODs engineered to index seamlessly with your existing drill templates and drill bushings.
• Non-Marring Surfaces: Custom-machined nylon, or phenolic foot pieces to prevent surface galling on composites or specialized clad aluminum.
• Non-Standard Travel & Threading: Engineered variations in shaft travel length, cutter capacities, and thread sizes outside of the standard specification blocks.
