Toolholding

Parting off presents challenges, but paying attention to the basics makes it a lot easier.

The Look Ahead section in the May 2015 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine also presents a sensory toolholder for wireless, in-process measurement of cutting forces.

Unbalanced tool holders create excessive heat in the spindle bearings, which, along with the vibration, can cause premature spindle failure.

The foundation of robust and successful CNC milling and drilling processes consists of numerous elements, including high-quality machine tools, sturdy work holders and high-performance cutting tools. Toolholders are another of the basic elements.

While hydraulic toolholders are said to have limited applications, their high gripping force and simple operation help them secure a place in machine shops.

Antipullout toolholders reduce scrap, increase tool life and eliminate anxiety while milling.
