Precision Machining Technology Review August 2023: Tooling
Production Machining’s August 2023 technology showcase includes some of the latest tooling technology from Monaghan Tooling Group, Big Daishowa, Kennametal, Tungaloy-NTK America Inc. and Accutek.
Dillon Workpiece Stops Reduce Setup Time
The workpiece stops enable short parts to be set above the jaws, providing clearance.
Tooling Considerations for Parting Off, Grooving
Geometry, coatings and tool holders all play a big role in the effectiveness of parting off and grooving operations on CNC turning centers.

Tungaloy-NTK PCD Grade Offers Optimal Dimensional Accuracy
The DX200 is an effective tool for machining application-specific components that demand high levels of material purity, such as metal medical implants and sputtering targets for semiconductor applications.
Tips for Choosing the Right Toolholder for High-Speed Machining
Here is some advice for shops hoping to maximize their efficiency performing high-speed milling operations.
#techbrief
Big Daishowa Toolholder Increases Precision for Lathes
The Big Capto C3 series provides higher rigidity to minimize vibrations and movement during cutting, improving accuracy and efficiency.
Threaded Lathe Sleeves Maximize Pressure, Coolant Flow
The sleeves are well suited for job shops that are using aging lathes, and are designed for use on machines that do not have the capability to run through-the-turret coolant.
Kennametal Drill Fix PRO Offers Extended Application Range
The Drill Fix PRO is designed for extended tool life and smooth drilling at high metal removal rates, with outboard inserts that feature a wiper geometry for smoother surface finishes and larger coolant channels for high-volume flow.
Shrink-Fit System Offers OneTouch Displays, Rapid Tool Cooling
The US1100 shrink-fit machines are available with the Pyrometer Coil technology included as standard, with direct temperature monitoring for reliable and stable tool shrinking.
Radial Pole Magnetic Chuck for Vertical Turning, Grinding
The system enables faster setup times, while pole extensions enable users to raise the piece from the magnet surface, making the top, inner and outer diameters fully machinable.
