Growth of customized workholding
Metalworking is becoming increasingly specialized, with manufacturers of lathes and grinders offering a variety of capacities, bed lengths and other options. This promises the user the ability to create custom machining solutions to "meet any production need." While this is true to a point, standard options have their limits, and truly customized machines cost more and have extended delivery times.
Shop’s buried treasures
After visiting a few fellow shop owners, Manager's Desk Columnist Keith Jennings found that generating extra cash was a frequent topic of interest -- particularly with the fickle state of the market and governments being desperate to extract additional revenue through taxes and fees.
Hold fast
High-speed machining is an amorphous term, but can generally mean anything from 10,000 rpm to, at least theoretically, 500,000 rpm or higher. At high speeds, even the slightest toolholder movement or runout can drastically reduce tool life, spindle life, surface finish and part quality.
Scotch-Weld Acrylic Adhesives
