Tips for predictable tool failure

To some degree, it doesn't matter if you have the fastest or the best tool; it is more important to have a tool that fails consistently. But how can you plan for predictable tool failure? Read more
End users gravitate to ER collets because they are relatively inexpensive, one collet can clamp a range of tool shank diameters and they are a familiar, time-tested technology. But the ER collet style isn't always the best toolholder for an application. Selecting one that is requires understanding some of the available options to enhance accuracy.

HT Turret Heads perform drilling, tapping, boring and milling. They can be installed directly on the machine spindle or, with their own drive, on slides with one or more axes. Four sizes with different spindle options. They can also be fitted with multi-spindle heads, angle heads and speed multipliers. A Hirth crown gear positioning system, provides the utmost in precision, strength and repeatability.
