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

Maintenance is really important and kind of a pain. When it comes to all-important spindle maintenance, you can avoid the pain by using simple tools and devices.

Overall gripping strength increases as you increase the size of your tool holders (when looking at the same type of holder).

A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.

To make their cars as light and aerodynamic as possible, Team Penske’s shop performs delicate work milling aluminum, titanium and steel.

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

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.

There are three particularly sensitive areas of the tool holder assembly that can experience process-affecting wear and tear and cause a cycle to change.

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.

Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.

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.

Unlock better machining results with the right tool holders. Learn how design, selection and maintenance impact accuracy, tool life and overall performance.

The way we machine parts has changed significantly over the years. Now it’s time to change how we think about workholding too.
