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

There’s a lot to consider when deciding how to tool up a new machine. Committing to a thorough tooling selection upfront is vital. Think about your tooling and machine tool as a symbiotic partnership: what affects one affects the other.

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.

​​​​​​​Pullout is a major issue facing manufacturers using milling chucks, especially when machining heat-resistant super alloys (HRSA) like titanium or inconel

Using inexpensive spindle, taper and bore cleaners is an effective way to keep your machine tools performing their best.

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

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.  

Do you want to make setup time more productive and reduce cost? Read on to learn tips on getting accurate setups done faster.

To achieve efficient tool life, proper finish and productivity in high-speed work, tool holders need to be as rigid, compact and short as possible to keep the whole assembly stable. Here's what you need to know when choosing a high-speed tool holder. 

For manufacturers using milling chucks, pullout is a major issue, particularly when machining HRSA’s such as titanium or inconel.

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 manufacturing process of boring is enlarging a hole in a piece of metal. Different kinds of boring tools are available for boring operations.

Considering we deal in some of the smallest parts and pieces in the machining world, we fully understand that your results will be only as strong as your weakest link.

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.
