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.  

Take the guesswork out of choosing tool holders and start getting results today.

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.

Discover how investing in the right tool holders can boost precision, extend tool life and save money in the long run.

Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.

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.

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.

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

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.
