As seen in PM

  • Eric Somma, President

    We will mostly be talking about two important products at PMTS this year.

  • Collet Chuck-Style Broach Toolholders

    The new collet chuck-style broach toolholders are said to be versatile because they use ER-style collets, which are designed to reduce the three-screw method of centering the HSS broach in the broach toolholder. The ER-style collet will hold virtually any diameter shank broach tool in the holder within the range of the collet.  A built-in stop screw allows the operator to adjust for different length broaches and to compensate for different lengths on re-sharpened broaches.

  • The Forgotten Art Of Skiving

    Here's a look at one of the oldest and most efficient methods of screw machine production for parts that are long and slender, with close-diameter tolerances and finishes, or parts that require truly spherical radii.

  • Combination Bar Puller Cutoff Tool

    The combination bar puller cutoff tool for CNC from Somma Tool Company saves a turret position because it is a bar puller and cutoff tool in one unit. Cycle time is reduced because there is a no need to index between cutoff and pulling operations. A single screw adjustment allows the jaws to be set up and adjusted

  • Combination Bar Puller Cut-Off Tool For CNC

    Somma Tool's combination bar puller cutoff tool for CNC. This tool saves a turret position because it is a bar puller and cutoff tooll in one unit.

  • Hollow Mill

    The Tangi-square Hollow Mill is said to be able to improve the turning operations on CNC, Davenport, and other screw machines. The new product was designed to hold replaceable carbide inserts instead of carbide or HSS tool bits. Not only are the Somma inserts replaceable and easy to change, but they are also the same "Tangi-Square" inserts that are productive on the Accu-Set Tangi-Square turning tool.

  • The Case For Resharpenable, Insert-Type Form Tools
