A map of the tooling a CNC lathe actually needs — chucks, live centres, static and driven holders, inserts and the accessories that make them fit.
The three lathe turret interfaces compared: VDI, BOT and BMT, what the size numbers mean, and why two turrets marked BMT60 will not take the same block.
This guide explains common issues in gun drilling like overheating, chip packing, and tool wear, and how to solve them through proper pressure, flow, and lubricant selection
This article explains the process of pipe honing in the Canadian oil and gas industry, covering its principles, benefits, and applications. It highlights how honing improves pipe precision, surface quality, durability, and flow efficiency, ensuring safer and more reliable operation of pipelines and hydraulic systems.
A practical guide to help you select the optimal end mill based on material, diameter, number of flutes, and tool design.
A customer's Autostrong N212 died on a 30-year-old Okuma — and behind the spindle sat a drawtube assembly that appears in no manual. What it took to fit a modern chuck to it.
Discover our guide to milling tool holders, exploring various standards like CAT, BT, DIN, and HSK, along with popular types such as ER collet chucks, endmill chucks, and shrink-fit holders.
