Dan Walters' invention is a part washing machine that attaches directly to the machine tool while occupying about 10 square feet of floor space. The Wheelie Washer is a conveyor-like system that takes the parts through various chemicals and solutions, removing the oil from each part and drying them.

- Literature describes American QC Systems' Wheelie Washer, an automatic washout system for high-production machines- Parts come off oil free and dry and they do not touch metal or each other- The machine separates chips as it cleans, and wheel indexing can be timed to the machine cycle time .

Available from American Q. C. Systems, the Q-Switch tooling system is designed for faster tool changes.

Downtime, long setup times and hiring skilled employees for night shifts are some of the problems every shop has. In its shop, American Torch Tip has completely integrated the quick-change tool system and drastically reduced those problems by developing a system that will go in any ER-style holder. Tools can now be preset off the machine, during the first shift and while the machines are running.
