BIG KAISER expands jet-through hydraulic chuck line to include the BCV interface and additional inch sizes.

We break down different styles of small HSK holders available, as well as the suppliers who offer each type.

The full radial contact and extreme gripping force of Hi-Power Milling Chucks delivers the stability needed to increase spindle speeds by 20 percent in one application at Team Penske.

The is no general rule to cutting tool shank insertion as a multiplier for shank diameter. All tool holder types have different requirements.

To achieve efficient tool life, proper finish and productivity in high-speed work, tool holders need to be as rigid, compact and short as possible to keep the whole assembly stable. Here's what you need to know when choosing a high-speed tool holder. 

El mantenimiento de las máquinas es fundamental para los procesos de desprendimiento de viruta.

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.

As cutting tool diameters get smaller, the acceptable amount of runout must decrease substantially.

Deep pockets in mold cavities can be difficult to machine. Toolholder length-to-diameter ratios are stretched to the max and cutting forces are high. Without the right toolholder, these conditions create the perfect storm for chatter, poor tool life and failing quality control molds. To avoid such problems, consider a wide range of factors when selecting a long-reach toolholder.

Hydraulic chucks are an excellent choice for high accuracy applications due to their ability to maintain runout accuracy over an extended period of time.
