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

Many machine shops lack objective criteria for making toolholder purchasing decisions & most are made by price alone. However they can improve runout significantly by using the right toolholders.

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.

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.

Choosing the right tool for the job transforms results through higher productivity, consistent quality and greater profitability.

If you’re looking for ways to improve productivity with micro cutting tools, here’s what you need to know.

The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the preci­sion and tolerances of micromachining processes.

Runout can be fickle, but finding a solution for it can pay significant dividends. How a little wobble can really increase your costs.

Cutting corners on tool holder quality can have major downstream consequences. Learn why and how to prevent issues in your facility.

They may be small, but we understand that our high-performance Sphinx tools play a big role in keeping spindles spinning and revenue flowing.

Cheater bars are appropriately named, especially when it comes to tightening tool holders. We see the common pipes that are often added to the end of wrenches to achieve more torque in customers’ shops all the time. And while these makeshift wrenches may make tightening or loosening holders easier, the damage they can cause is often overlooked.

As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.
