Reducing Thrust Loads During Rigid Tapping

Some amount of synchronization error is inevitable with rigid tapping. By allowing just a slight amount of axial movement to compensate for synchronous errors, this tapping holder is said to reduce thrust load by as much as 90 percent. MORE

Coolant And Center-Drilling Considerations
For Machining Small Holes                                                                                       

Through-spindle coolant is good if you can get it, but the spot drilling might not be necessary. Try a pilot hole instead? MORE

CYCLO GRIP Milling Chuck

The new MAG CYCLO GRIP Milling Chuck grips end mills with 4,700 pounds of clamping force and .0004 runout. This tool holder is ideal for hard metal cutting using large diameter end mills. It can also be used to hold shank style tools including back-spotfacing tools. MORE

Hydraulic Expansion Toolholder

The Schunk Tendo-ES is a short, hydraulic-expansion toolholder that allows the tool to be clamped directly in the mounting taper. The tool shank is supported via the spindle, and the result is a high holding force for transferable high torque and additional space in the machining area. MORE

Milling Cutter Features Multiple Cutting Edges

The GFG-WFE shell-type thread milling cutter from JBO is suited for difficult-to-machine materials and large-batch production applications. Higher cutting speeds and feeds shorten machining time, while the number of cutting edges increases tool life. MORE
