There’s more than one way to make holes, but some approaches are better than others. Working with customers from across every industry, our team gets to see what works and what doesn’t. These are a few of the interesting questions—and unexpected answers.

The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the preci­sion and tolerances of micromachining processes.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

Sphinx product manager, Cory Cetkovic, once again took to the pages of Fabricating & Metalworking magazine to share some useful knowledge about micro machining practices, a challenging yet profitable and growing sector of metalworking.

The advances in multi-axis machining in recent years have unlocked the creativity of machine shop engineers and operators.

Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.

When working with our partners and customers, we get the chance to see all kinds of metalworking scenarios, from the most common to the hard-to-fathom prototype. We often discover valuable strategies and techniques along the way and love sharing some of those learnings in the pages of the industry’s most trusted publications.

Runout can be fickle, but finding a solution for it can pay significant dividends. How a little wobble can really increase your costs.

We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.

Learn how we’ve adapted our tool holders to meet the coolant demands of modern-day machining.

Many machine shops lack objective criteria for making toolholder purchasing decisions & most are made by price alone. However they can improve runout significantly by using the right toolholders.

If you’re looking for ways to improve productivity with micro cutting tools, here’s what you need to know.

If your work demands accuracy or you are looking to give your 5-axis capabilities a boost, hydraulic chucks are worth considering.

In the latest edition of their Medical Manufacturing Yearbook, Manufacturing Engineering featured an article by our very own VP of Sales and Engineering, Jack Burley.
