I'm getting fretting marks on my toolholders. Below are some examples, it is like that on most of the tools. Those lines can be rubbed off with my fingers, mostly those bigger dots. I also attached pictures of what the inside of the spindle taper. Only one side of the taper has marks.
I have not had a significant crash, though if it is from crashes my guess would be on some face mills where a part is dislodged from the workholding. I do not need super accurate machining, I am making a consumer product for my own company so no medical, aerospace, etc. requirements.
Is this a significant issue? Right now I am just using a Scotch-Brite pad whenever I take a toolholder out, which mostly removes the marks (clearly not a long-term solution). If so, what are my options? Do I need to get maintenance? Is there something I can do myself? When do I need to get new toolholders?
