As lathes and turning machines pivot toward quick-change tooling models from traditional stick tools, tool presetters present benefits of keeping chips flying while reducing human error and increasing precision.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces the Mega Perfect Grip, a simple to handle, heavy-duty milling chuck for heat resistant super alloys (HRSA) that eliminates end mill pullout under heavy torque loads.

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.

The chances of a tool slipping or pulling out in its holder during work is increasing. Here are some insights to help you select the proper holder for your work.

Adjusting screws are not just a simple set screw. They are a screw with a purpose—three actually.

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.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

When it comes to dialing in an ER system’s performance to match a specific application’s requirements or long life, there are three components to consider: the collet, the body of the holder and the nut.
