Otto Martin Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG has been manufacturing woodworking machinery since 1922. They know a thing or two about precision tools.

Tool holders are the bridge between the machine and the part. It’s important to carefully select, care for and use holders.

When high accuracy, long tool life or high-speed capabilities are important, collet chucks are often the holder of choice.

Consistent accuracy is the name of the game when it comes to tool presetters. The best way to ensure you can keep faith in your presetter, just like any other piece of machinery, is to perform regular maintenance.

The general shift to slowing purchases offers manufacturers a chance to re-think strategy, regroup and shift the focus to optimization.

After researching presetters for eight years—including four trips to IMTS—CEO Ronda Peterson knew it was the time to invest in the next level of efficiency for her shop.

TEAM PENSKE welcomed visitors to its race shop and headquarters in Mooresville, NC, for their annual Machining Technology Summit. Manufacturing professionals learned about new technology for metal cutting and went behind the scenes at this fast-paced motorsports manufacturing facility.

You need to look at a milling machine as a whole system. There are multiple, integral parts that all need to work together.

The flexible, modular Unilock Zero-Point Clamping System, offered by BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc., is now available in a kit specifically designed for all Haas 160mm platter rotary indexing tables.
