Adjustment-Free, Offset, Rotary Broach Toolholder
Somma Tool Co. announces the development of a broach toolholder that is reportedly uniquely interchangeable among any style of ER collet chuck. The compact, adjustment-free, offset, rotary broach toolholder will thread to an existing ER (16, 20, 25 and 32) collet chuck and features a built-in 1-degree wobble cutting edge for offset rotary broaching.
Version 8 of SpectrOil Series Analyzers
Spectro Scientific has introduced Version 8 of its SpectrOil Series analyzers. The new capabilities are included in both the SpectrOil 100 series and SpectrOil M series for the elemental analysis of oil, fuel, coolant and water.
