Video: Micro Inspection at Matrix Tooling

This short video explains how to check the runout on a collet chuck toolholder.

Metal removal rate is high and the cut is dry. See other basic tips for milling with ceramics.

This toolholder takes advantage of a Swiss-type’s Y-axis motion to approach and engage the barstock from the side, which helps prevent “bird nesting.”

This video shows a device that enables machine tools to quickly deburr both sides of through holes in elliptical and contoured surfaces.

A shop owner describes his simple approach to evaluating cutting tool performance and finding the best parameters.

Through-tool liquid nitrogen turns the tool into a heat sink, extending tool life.

The cycle for heating the toolholder also includes water cooling so the toolholder finishes cool.

Relieved end mills and pre-machining of corners are two important considerations for accurate pocket machining in hard steel.
