Shops often exert a lot of effort toward selecting the best toolholder for a particular machining application. That’s because toolholders are important for effective and safe connections between high speed tools and a machine, and choosing the right toolholder is the key to greater precision, longer tool life and decreased machining costs.
Every month, we’re putting together a Technology Showcase, highlighting some of the product information that PM received from supplier companies. For January, we focused on toolholders, including a modular tooling system with a coolant-through design; an online form tool service to simplify ordering holders and inserts; hydraulic chucks featuring tool-side clamping for faster and safer tool changes; and more.
Take a few minutes to check out some of the latest new and/or improved products in the precision machining industry as described below. For the latest new products across the broad spectrum of precision machining, check out Production Machining’s New Products online.
