Advanced Tooling and Workholding Increase Shop Productivity
Tsudakoma NC rotary tables, Alberti angle heads and lathe tools, and Elbo Controlli tool presetters from Koma Precision provide zero backlash, improve cycle times, conserve energy and reduce operating costs.
Mill-Thread Tool for High Speed Aluminum Machining
Ideal for aerospace, automotive and other high precision applications, the solid carbide AMT from Carmex minimizes the tendency of aluminum to stick to the cutting tool edges to deliver high surface finish and good chip evacuation.
Chamfer Blending of Holes Made Easy
By blending and radiusing sharp edges and removing microburrs on chamfered holes, the specialty Flex-Hone for Chamfer Blending tool from Brush Research Manufacturing eliminates stress risers caused by the chamfering operation.
Universal Vise, Pallet Combination for Quick-Change Machining
On vertical and horizontal machining centers, the 125 mm vise and 96 mm Drop & Lock pallet from Jergens work together ideally for increased machining access and quick changeover of both top tooling and machinable parts for five-axis / multi-axis machining operations.
High Speed Machining of Heat Resistant Super Alloys
BIDEMICS, Solid Ceramic End Mills, High Feed Cutters, Groove Duo and Shaper Duo tools from NTK Cutting Tools enable faster cutting speeds for higher productivity.
Tooling Systems that Improve Clamping Capabilities, Faster Changeovers
Ideal for boring, milling, reaming, tapping and grinding applications, the powRgrip Toolholding Collet system, ER collets, SwissQuick ER-to-ER adaptors and the micRun clamping system from Rego-Fix securely clamp tools, enhance clamping capabilities and speed tool changing.
Quickly Fixture and Set-Up Welding & Fabrication Jobs Anywhere
The Rhino Cart Mobile Fixturing Station from Strong Hand Tools includes the welding table plus a 66-piece Clamp and Component Fixturing Kit that mates to the CNC precision-bored 5/8 in tabletop holes for accurate clamping or fixturing on the tabletop.
Heavy Duty Casters for Higher Loads
The 310 & 410 Kingpinless Series casters from W.T. Hight are constructed of high quality, heat-treated AISI 1045 laser-cut steel and feature a precision-machined raceway for improved ergonomics and superior strength in rugged and towed applications.
