Discover what tool presetters are, why they matter, when to use them and how to choose the best one for your shop.

For many shops setup may be the silent time killer. Shaving just 15 minutes off each setup can add up to tens of thousands of dollars in savings. But where to start?

The new SW BIG CAPTO Rough Boring Head makes it possible to perform rough and finish boring processes.

Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.

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.

Lead angles close to 90° more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure.

Presetters have evolved. Powerful PC-based, touchscreen controls can connect to other important components and systems across an entire metalworking business. This connectivity allows for the fast, accurate exchange of data.
