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.

Discover what tool presetters are, why they matter, when to use them and how to choose the best one for your shop.

This simple switch makes life much easier because it introduces more standardization to the shop floor, reduces the burden on operators, increases setup speed and dramatically reduces the chances of human error. All of which saves time and realizes return on investment – and each additional machine helps increase the rate of return.

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.

The presetting machines available today are accurate, easy to use and provide closed-loop tool compensation on the CNC machine tool, saving significant time during job change-over.

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

Dialing in a finishing job can be meticulous, with several measurements, adjustments and discussions taking place. That not only costs time, but those tool touches and interactions introduce some risk inside a shop. Our next boring innovation will help eliminate many of those repeated interactions and extra adjustments.

While the latest machine tool technology may go a long way towards eliminating vibration and chatter, adding a new one may not be realistic. Luckily, there are less disruptive options that can make positive impacts on vibration without breaking the bank.

Just because you buy inexpensive tooling doesn’t mean you’re saving money. Invest in your tooling and experience the economy of quality.

The Affordable Care Act is changing how we access and consume medical services.

Because of the popularity of BIG-PLUS, many tooling companies, without a proper license, offer what they call dual-contact tooling. But not all dual-contact is the same. Let’s tackle a few of the most common misconceptions.

A lot of conflicting information has circulated about balancing tools over the years. Let's clear some things up and make life a little easier for you.
