GYRO 5T1 x ER32
**Quick visual summary**
This image shows a cylindrical metal tool holder or spindle assembly with an ER32-type interface. The top has a smooth round shank that fits into a machine spindle. The midsection has a knurled flange for gripping and handling. The lower portion has a male threaded drawbar or retention thread and visible holes for set screws or fasteners.
**Detailed inspection notes**
The knurled collar suggests the part is designed for manual handling or torqueing during install. The male threaded end looks like the drawbar or retention connection that secures collets or tooling. One visible threaded hole likely accepts a locking screw or reports a retaining feature. Surface finish shows normal machine wear and light scratches. No catastrophic cracks are visible in the photographed area.
**What likely needs attention**
Handwritten notes on the service form list “Broken spring” as the reason for sending the unit. That suggests an internal retaining spring or retention mechanism may be damaged. Worn threads, set-screw seats, or internal springs are common repair items on ER-style holders. A full teardown will confirm which internal components need replacement.
