The purpose and history of the toolbox
Toolboxes and bags go back a long way in human history. Once a tool was found to be useful, it became valuable and was worth keeping. A tool and the skills to use it are closely connected. Mechanical people object strongly to any interference with their tools just as musicians would object to someone tampering with their instruments.
DXH Hydraulic Vises
Kurt DXH vises have a premium one-piece body design now standard on all Kurt general-purpose vises. Designed using Finite Element Analysis, the new body has 30% less horizontal (push back) deflection than previous DX models. Vises are available in three sizes: DX4H, DX6H and DX8H and reverse models. DXH Hydraulic Vises have the same bed height and keyway to the stationary jaw face as their DX-Series counterparts, along with internal improvements over older DX models including a redesigned nut, new brush seal design and a new bearing pack.
Neugart Calculation Program (NCP) 4.3
Newly designed details in NCP version 4.3 offer even greater convenience when using the program. New or occasional users in particular benefit from the intuitive usability and will find design examples for each application with detailed descriptions. Handling of projects is facilitated, since the appropriate application and calculations already performed can simply be retrieved directly. By dragging files into the program, the user can easily open files and add designs.
Clamp Connectors
These lightweight yet quality plastic parts provide a high-end solution with defined load capacities. Depending on the tightening torque of the screw connections, JW Winco lists the axial extraction force, the radial torsional moment, and the rotation moment if an articulated axis is present. The connectors are designed to fully encompass typical construction tubes to create a nonpositive clamping connection.

CTE Booth Visit with Mate Precision Technologies @ Eastec
Workholding Global Product Manager Austin Heisick introduced Mate Precision Technologies' 52/96 zero-point workholding system at the company's booth during Eastec 2023. On display were Mate's DynoGrip Vises, DnyoLock Bases and DynoMount mounting accessories.
CTE Booth Visit with ZOLLER Inc.
Sales Engineer Emily Brunnschweiler provides an overview of the products featured at the ZOLLER Inc. booth during Eastec 2023. On display were the »pomBasic« inspection solution, the »genius« universal measuring system, the »smile 420« tool presetter, the »toolBalancer 550«, the »powerShrink 600«, the »redomatic 400« heat-shrink presetter, as well as a variety of toolholders and tool management solutions.
Radial Pole Magnetic Chuck
Since users are holding the part for the base, setups are dramatically reduced. Pole extensions allow users to raise the piece from the magnet surface making the top, inner and outer diameters fully machinable. This process dramatically reduces part distortion due to clamping with ZERO distortion and allowing for far more accurate part processing.
6061 Aluminium Shaft Collars
The aluminium collars are much easier to machine compared to steel. This more readily enables customization, a requirement if the collar needs to fit specific shaft designs or dimensions, either for retrofit or new machine builds. Along with this capability, aluminium shares a similar anti-corrosion performance to stainless steel, ensuring increased durability.

TechniDrill 2.00-30-48
The TechniDrill 2.00-30-48 has a gundrilling diameter capacity of 2 inches (50.8 mm) and a maximum gundrilling depth of 48 inches (1219 mm). It features a 30 horsepower AC spindle motor and two-speed gearbox to provide versatile gundrilling performance. The workpiece is counter-rotated via pneumatically operated 3-jaw chucks to increase the accuracy of the gundrilled hole.
Polished Rake Faces
Especially for milling aluminium alloys and plastics, Horn offers the indexable inserts with polished rake faces on all four edges from stock to counteract the formation of built-up edges. In conjunction with the positive chip breaker geometry, the sharp ground cutting edge produces a soft cut and high surface quality. The special grade is designed for use with the ISO N material group. The inserts can be used in all cutter body variants.
