BIG DAISHOWA introduces the EWN & EWD Smart Damper - precision boring heads with a patented damping system to eliminate vibration in deep-hole finish boring.
Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.
Hi-Jet Holder TG Collet Type tool holder is capable of supplying coolant through or around the tool. Reduced heat generation greatly extends tool life.
Shops are leaving more than 30 percent of potential cutting tool life on the table by using poor-quality tool holders. With carbide costs rising, few shops can afford the waste. Learn how better tool holding improves tool life and reduces costs.
Machining at higher speeds can save time and money, however, increasing the speed also means increasing the inherent risk in the situation. To maximize speed potential, a holistic approach that considers tool, holder, machine and operator is essential.
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.
