Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.

Moldmakers hoping to avoid problems such as chatter, poor tool life and molds that fail quality control muster need to consider a variety of factors when selecting a long-reach toolholder.

When high accuracy, long tool life or high-speed capabilities are important, collet chucks are often the holder of choice.

We break down different styles of small HSK holders available, as well as the suppliers who offer each type.

As our Engineering Manager, Alan Miller, likes to say, “You’re only as precise as your least precise component.”

Keeping pace with modern manufacturing demands often means bridging the gap between design and production. Creative and resourceful applications of tooling and accessories, such as angle heads, can get complex parts out the door.

Nowhere else is the concept of cost-efficiency more intensely analyzed than in the cut-throat world of manufacturing, and for good reason.

Common boring mistakes that are costing you time & money—and how to fix them

When it comes to boring operations, learn when to use a ground chip-breaker vs. a molded chip-breaker.

When that inevitable job arises that requires higher RPM output, operators are left with the choice of replacing the machine altogether to gain higher productivity, or looking into an attachment, like a spindle speeder, to close the RPM gap.

As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.

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.
