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.
Read MoreMagnetic Workholding Devices In Two Styles
The company features two styles of magnetic workholding devices: permanent magnetic blocks and electro-permanent magnets. According to the company, magnets are ideal for machining flat stock steel because they provide access to five sides of the workpiece. Part setups are quick and easy, the company says, and the magnetic devices maintain maximum hold-down force.
Read MoreHigh-Performance Milling
 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.

Collet-Chuck-Style Broach Tool Holders
The versatile collet-chuck-style broach toolholders use ER-style collets, which are said to reduce the time-consuming, three-screw method of centering a high speed steel broach in the broach toolholder. Also, an ER style collet can hold broaches with shanks of virtually any diameter within its range. For example, one holder can hold three different broach tools with varying shank diameters.
Read MoreHole-Finishing Tools Designed For Fine Surface Finishes
 The company’s line of hole-finishing tools includes Burraway and Burr-Off mechanical deburring tools for controlled edge break or burr removal on both sides of holes in one pass. Shefcut precision reaming and boring tools which are designed for accurate size, fine finish and superior hole geometry are also available. Tools for burnishing include multi-roll, single-roll, and diamond burnishing tools, which are said to provide for accurate sizing, fine finishing, and work-hardening of bores and shafts in seconds.

Spiral-Design Deburring System
 The SBB-12 is a spiral-bottom, round-bowl deburring unit with a full circle baffle that keeps parts in the media mass constantly for faster, more precise processing. The unit features a 12-cubic-foot, urethane-lined tub for parts protection. Other spiral-bottom models have tub capacities of 8 to 12 cubic feet and custom-designed models can have capacities as much as 100 cubic feet.
