Modular Quick-Change Holder for the Katana TS2 Pro đ˛đ ď¸
I originally wanted to permanently mount my Katana TS2 Pro truing stand on the workbench in my shed.
But after some long wheel-building sessions, it quickly became clear:
Spending hours truing spokes in the cold is much less fun than working in a warm living room. đ
So the idea for a modular quick-change system emerged:
stable enough for precise truing, but mobile at the same time.
The Solution
I designed and printed two guide rails that are securely bolted to the workbench.
The truing stand is simply slid in from the side, making it stable, reproducible, and almost play-free.
When temperatures in the shed head towards the âNorth Poleâ again:
â Pull out the truing stand and continue working comfortably in the warm. đĽâ

- 20 mm wide
- extending over the entire length
- Clamping dimension/Cut-out:
- 4 mm
- suitable for the truing stand's base plate
- Mounting:
- per rail 3 screws
- securely bolted to the workbench
- Design:
- form-fitting side guide

Thanks to the long guide over the full 25 cm, the stand sits astonishingly stable and torsion-free on the table.

Why the system works so well
The forces are not only absorbed pointwise by screws, but distributed over the entire length of the guide.
This creates a very solid impression, even though the system remains quickly detachable.
The combination of:
- long guide,
- narrow 4-mm clamping,
- and the wide contact surface
makes the setup significantly more precise than one would expect from a âsimply printed solutionâ.
Sometimes the best workshop solutions arise simply from pure comfort considerations. đ
âI don't want to freeze while truingâ ultimately resulted in a modular quick-change holder that makes the truing stand mobile in seconds â and almost acts like a professional workbench system.
nevertheless, the 3 screws per rail should not be tightened excessively to ensure gliding is still possible.
