If you aren’t making use of tool holders, you’re wasting time and money

If you are in the machining industry, chances are pretty high that at one point or another you will have to replace the tool holders on your machining tools. If you are using high velocity, high output machines then you should definitely be using a tool holder. For those not in the industry, a tool holder is often thought to reference a tool box or belt. However, a tool holder refers to a piece that secures another into a machining device.

Consider the ER collet. This tool holder is the most widely used clamping system in the world. It is used to secure drill bits, small cutting blades, and other precision machining tools that need to be replaced often. There in lies the importance of holders. Instead of having to replace the whole setup, you can just switch out the blade or bit. This is not only cost efficient, but it also saves time.

Different holders are needed for different pieces of machinery. For example, a box tool is used most often on a turret lathe or screw machine. Whether you have long running jobs using roughing tools to get rid of unnecessary bulk materials, not to mention reducing wear on a more precise form tool, or are running only short, precise machining projects, tool holders are incredibly important. For your turret lathe or high speed drill platforms, utilizing the right holder is the key to a long life.

Another important tool in the arsenal of machinists everywhere is the tool presetter. Whereas a holder secures a work piece, tool presetters make sure angles and distances are set on given machines in order to make sure that each machined product matches up to its specifications. Without using presetters chances become unacceptably high that each project will not be a match to its template. This makes for unhappy customers and unpaid producers.

For whatever machining applications your business needs, tool holders and presetters are essential tools in maintaining your quality of product. This keeps you paid, your employees in their jobs, and your clients happy with your work well done.
