Machining and Finishing

Indexable cutting tools are a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to their solid tool counterparts. Since the cutting tip is a small insert, a lesser portion of cutting material is needed rather than making a solid tool of the same material. This allows the shank or tool holder to be made of a less expensive but tougher material. Plus, the removable inserts can be easily exchanged during production without affecting the overall geometry of the tool, thereby eliminating additional set-up changes. For milling applications, we offer indexable end mills and milling inserts.

Metalworking laps are part of an abrasive machining process that scrubs abrasive stones against your material along a controlled path to create a precision surface.

Lathe centers help position and support long workpieces on a lathe to prevent the loss of accuracy caused by deflection or bending. We supply both live and dead lathe centers.

Our hex-hole, square-hole, and square-slotted machine tool sleeves can be used to connect rods for making boring bars, milling cutters, and tool holders.

Chucking reamers are used to enlarge an existing hole to an exact size for a precise fit.

Used for deburring, shaping, and smoothing, our carbide rotary files are available in a variety of head types, including standard cut, double cut, and aluminum cut.

We carry an assortment of tapping tools, such as hand tappers, tap extractors, and tap wrenches.

Taps are used to cut a thread on the internal surface of a hole, creating the female component of an assembly, such as a nut or socket. We offer an extensive line of high-quality taps that includes the following types: extension, pulley, hand, pipe, spiral flute, spiral point, straight flute, screw thread insert, and thread forming taps.

V-flange collet chucks are used to hold a workpiece or tool by forming a collar around the object to hold it securely in place. Clamping force is applied through a tapered design that uses a sleeve and inner cylindrical surface. Allows self-centering, resistance against loosening, fast-chucking, and steady clamping pressure.
