Selecting the appropriate pilot drill is critical to maximize performance and tool life of a succeeding deep hole or micro drill.

When using a high-performance drill, we do not recommend turning on coolant until the drill is inside a 1-2xD deep pilot hole.

Customers often get caught in a price war between cutting tool suppliers by attempting to reduce their total upfront investment in tooling.

Understanding and controlling runout is crucial for any machine shop looking to maintain competitive advantages in today's precision-driven manufacturing environment.

Did you know Sphinx offers 3 unique drill/reamer geometries capable of drilling from a solid while achieving H7-H9 hole tolerance with exceptionally good surface finish?

Learn how we’ve adapted our tool holders to meet the coolant demands of modern-day machining.

Making a hole with very tight tolerances is often a two-part process. When starting from scratch, a drill is used first to create the hole.

Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.

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

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

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

Nowhere else is the concept of cost-efficiency more intensely analyzed than in the cut-throat world of manufacturing, and for good reason.

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

There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.

With thousands of part numbers to choose from, product selection can be a bit overwhelming. Take a look at some overlooked products and services that can help guarantee higher performance for your shop.
