Workholding For Aggressive Machining Operations
Designed to increase the versatility of standard 4" and 6" vises, the TalonGrip bolt-on system is suited for performing aggressive machining operations while clamping on as little as 0. 060" of workpiece material. The system is said to be ideal for small lot sizes, difficult applications and prototype work.

 The Cinch carbide insert chamfering tool uses a square ANSI standard insert and is available in 60-, 82-, 90- and 120-degree included angles. The compact, rigid design enables users to chamfer holes as small as 7/32″ diameter while utilizing the higher rpm and feed rates available on today’s machines. The tool is also available in a double angle configuration which enables chamfering both the top and bottom of holes as small as 21/32″ diameter.

 Excelerator Mills are designed for high-performance milling in difficult-to-machine materials using the company’s ceramic inserts. Typical application areas include most hardened materials above 40 Rc and nickel- and cobalt-based super alloys. Ring Max ring-groove cutters are engineered to cut machining time of API ring grooves, the company says.
Read MoreDurable Steel Toggle Clamps
 The company introduces a variety of toggle clamps with safety locks. Latch-action toggle clamps are available in five sizes ranging from 360- to 7,500-lbs capacity. All are equipped with a threaded U bolt for adjustability and a matching latch plate.

The ER Zeta safety collet clamping system from Zollmann GmbH offers a unique profile that allows for various mounting adapters or spanner wrench to be screwed on by means of a bayonet-style locking feature. The system is suited for use in tight areas. The collet nuts offer a high clamping torque that reduces overall runout.
Read MoreTapping Holder Improves Thread Quality And Tap Life
 The Mega Synchro tapping holder compensates for synchronization error during rigid tapping by reducing the thrust load to both the tap and workpiece, improving thread quality and tap life. This is facilitated through a mechanism that absorbs the pitch difference between the tap and synchronous spindle. Capable of supplying coolant through slits to the tap periphery, the holder is available in various lengths and spindle interfaces to suit any company’s needs.
Read MoreKeep Tools In Place With High Loads
 The SafeLock system combines the advantages of a shrink-fit chuck with those of a positive connection by integrating ball or pin drivers into the chuck. Those drivers grip into helical grooves that are ground into the cutter shank in the opposite direction of the cutting forces. The shape of the groove ensures that the tool is simultaneously safeguarded against spinning and against being pulled out when confronted with radial and axial cutting forces.
Read MoreDeburring System Features Return-To-Operator System
 The company has expanded its Tri-Ten planetary head deburring system to include a return-to-operator (RTO) configuration. The series is designed to deburr both sides of a part in a single pass. Parts are loaded at one end and a magnetic conveyor passes them through an offset planetary deburring head where three fiber abrasive brushes deburr the upward-facing surface.
