Many machine shops lack objective criteria for making toolholder purchasing decisions & most are made by price alone. However they can improve runout significantly by using the right toolholders.
Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.
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.
No matter what, a new machine represents a significant cost in a manufacturing project. This investment can be compromised if it is not tooled up properly.
