For manufacturers using milling chucks, pullout is a major issue, particularly when machining HRSA’s such as titanium or inconel.

While we specialize in holders, we do offer some specialized cutters with these materials and often get questions about PCD and CBN inserts. Here we tackle some of the most frequently asked questions.

Milling is a core operation in all kinds of manufacturing environments. Here are five different types of milling holders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. We’re here to help you choose with a breakdown and tips for using each.

Anyone who’s made holes understands the difficulties that can arise: vibration, wander and even breakage. When it comes to production-level volume, these issues become even more limiting. Many turn to helical interpolation with a mill as a reliable way to rough out holes. We’re here to tell you there’s a faster, easier option.

With thousands of part numbers to choose from, product selection can be a bit overwhelming. Take a look at some overlooked products and services that can help guarantee higher performance for your shop. 

With state-of-the-art toolholding technology, Jorge Rucoba’s machine shop doubled its process indicators and gained competitiveness in the Mexican mold market.

ID boring is a common and time-consuming operation on CNC lathes. Common issues have led to the development of world-class boring tools—traditionally used on milling machines—that have proven to be just as effective on a CNC lathe.

We’ve seen and heard it all when it comes to boring holes. That said, there are always a few questions that pop up over and over. From optimizing modular boring assemblies to deciding between twin boring or high-feed milling, here’s some of our best boring advice.

Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.

We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.

Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.

The full radial contact and extreme gripping force of Hi-Power Milling Chucks delivers the stability needed to increase spindle speeds by 20 percent in one application at Team Penske.

Using helical interpolation to open holes is common practice. And in shallow holes or one-off projects, it’s a fine choice.

Learn five key factors to consider when selecting boring tools to improve performance, reduce costs and ensure part quality.

There’s more than one way to make holes, but some approaches are better than others. Working with customers from across every industry, our team gets to see what works and what doesn’t. These are a few of the interesting questions—and unexpected answers.
