As a raw material, tungsten carbide is a limited natural resource and a widely popular tool material due to its hardness and heat resistance. We can both save money by reducing the consumption of carbide and help our environment by fully utilizing every tool before recycling the rest.

Shops are leaving more than 30 percent of potential cutting tool life on the table by using poor-quality tool holders. With carbide costs rising, few shops can afford the waste. Learn how better tool holding improves tool life and reduces costs.

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.

Everyone wants to get the most out of their tool holders. While some may take a set it and forget it approach with holders, it’s not recommended, as they have a direct impact on both parts and machinery. Here are some tips to ensure your holders deliver.

The further the tool does its work from the spindle, the more room for error. Deep pockets and cavities usually signify that a part is nearing completion, making the smallest of errors almost impossible to recover from and very costly.

These easy-to-use measuring devices can help protect capital machinery, prevent scrapped parts, and speed setups or programming.

Unlock better machining results with the right tool holders. Learn how design, selection and maintenance impact accuracy, tool life and overall performance.

Maintenance is really important and kind of a pain. When it comes to all-important spindle maintenance, you can avoid the pain by using simple tools and devices.

Discover how the right tool holder solved serious cutting challenges from reducing runout and streamlining operations to enabling efficiency and boosting part quality.

Explore the versatility of the HSK tool system. Learn about the types, advantages and best uses of HSK tool holders to optimize your shop’s efficiency.

Thinking of buying shrink-fit holders? Read this before making a decision.

Valuable information on a new standard for balancing tools and tool systems that apply to today’s relevant variables for safe and productive machining.

Choosing the right tool for the job transforms results through higher productivity, consistent quality and greater profitability.

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.

Good measurements make setups faster, reduce recuts and identify potential spindle or holder issues before they become bigger problems. Let’s look at a few of the key areas to measure and the handy solutions available.
