Extra-long hard jaws from Dillon Manufacturing provide the extended reach that the company says allows the machining of smaller diameters, giving shops more versatility to handle a wider range of projects. The jaws are compatible with 8” to 15” power chucks, and are designed to maximize the potential of big-bore chucks, offering exceptional center reach and versatility.

The new Speroni Pro Shrink TubeChiller 1100 from Big Daishowa. The combination shrink and cooling system automatically cools down tool holders immediately after heating to reduce burn risk to operators.

Dillon says that its full grip jaws manufactured from 6061 extruded aluminum bar stock eliminate the porosity inherent with castings, thus increasing their strength, reliability, and safety.

Preventing tool breakage during machining is a significant challenge, leading to tool holder failures and costly replacements. Iscar's CER-M-TURN system addresses this by allowing the replacement of only the affected cartridge when an insert breaks, rather than the entire tool holder.
