Booth 5248: Featuring a clamping bore with fine slots surrounded by hundreds of needle bearings to ensure concentric, precise and smooth clamping when the nut is tightened, the super-slim HMCJ milling chuck from BIG KAISER has a peripheral coolant supply that supports heavy duty and finish end milling tasks with power and precision using Ø1/2 in or Ø12 mm cutters.
Booth 5248: The Smart Damper boring bar for lathe applications from BIG KAISER integrates a heavyweight, strengthened damping mechanism into the tool holder to function as both a dynamic counter and friction damper that instantaneously absorbs vibration and eliminates chatter, helping to achieve higher machining accuracy, better surface finishes and increased metal removal rates for higher productivity at critical machining depths.

Eliminate Vibration and Maintain Efficient Milling Speed
The super-slim HMCJ milling chuck from BIG KAISER has a peripheral coolant supply that supports heavy duty and finish end milling tasks with power and precision using Ø1/2 in or Ø12 mm cutters.

Saw Blades and Side Milling Cutters for a Wide Range of Applications
Standard saw blades and side chip clearance saws from Controx are ideal for a wide range of applications, including, gold and silver jewelry, fastener production, resistors, electronics, thin or thick-walled pipes and profiles, extrusions, abrasive, high-tensile materials, and more.

Full Grip Pie Jaws Securely Hold Workpieces in Virtually any Application
Pie jaws from Dillon Manufacturing are ideal for machining valves, cylinders, specialty wheels and gears, housings and enclosures, adaptors and connectors, aluminum and steel shells, flanges, retainer rings, thin-walled automotive smog control air pump rotors, gas turbine parts, thin-wall tubing and cylinder liners for diesel engines, and more.

Circle Segment and Cut & Form End Mills
Circle-segment end mills from Emuge remove substantially more material in fewer passes during five-axis machining, while Cut & Form Solid Carbide Finishing End Mills cut and polish in one operation for significant time reduction and cost savings.

Ultra-High Precision Rotary Tables for Milling Applications
Adaptable to nearly any workpiece or production situation, pL Lehmann 500 series tables from EXSYS Tool can upgrade a vertical machining center to significantly increase productivity without incurring the expense of a new machine.

Advanced Workholding for 5-Axis Production and Machinist Applications
TriMax vises, ultra-low profile TriGrip carbide grippers and Fairlane GP Series rubber gripper pads from Fixtureworks maximize machine tool potential with multiple part clamping, quick change components and easy adjustment for production.

Advanced Tools and Accessories for Swiss Machining
The multidec-LUBE tool clamp system, PCM 4X high speed spindles, and Louis Belet carbide “Expert” series tooling from GenSwiss increase Swiss machining productivity and reduce operating costs.

Ceramic Milling Tools for Difficult-to-Machine Materials
The Excelerator Milling system and XSYTIN-1 phase-toughened ceramic insert grade from Greenleaf achieve high milling productivity and cost savings on difficult-to-machine materials to provide machine shops with a competitive advantage.

Custom and Special Live Tooling for the Toughest Cutting Applications
Heimatic designs and builds tools for all CNC lathes, regardless of application, brand or size, to handle the toughest application challenges involving exotic materials, depth of cut, extensions that are needed, rotary table and fixture positioning, or other machine tool arrangements.
