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

Cleanliness is key to achieving good runout control when assembling tool holders. Small particles or oil in a tool holder can cause large runout of the cutting tool, deceasing tool life and performance.

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.

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

Choosing the right tool holder for the right work is clearly of critical importance to successful metalworking performances.

We break down different styles of small HSK holders available, as well as the suppliers who offer each type.

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.

When choosing a tool holder, you want consistent results and long service life. Check out these considerations for rigid, consistent and durable tool holders.

Without the right tool holder, difficult conditions create the perfect storm for chatter, poor tool life and failing quality control molds.

Overall gripping strength increases as you increase the size of your tool holders (when looking at the same type of holder).

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. 

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.
