Pneumatic Collet Block offers fail-safe operation.
Air-open, spring-to-close 5C Collet Block bolts to machine table or sub-plate to hold wide range of parts. Standard 5C collets, step chucks, internal Sure-Grip collets, and manual chucks will thread into spindle nose. After setup, spring design holds workpiece at 1,800 lb optimum 5C drawbar force without use of air. Collet travel is adjustable with turn of wrench. Modular units can be used...
Read More »Lean Manufacturing Cell has 4 cutting zones.
Quest LMC42 self-contained manufacturing cell features 4 cutting zones that perform various machining operations. Tooling and spindle configurations cover full range of manufacturing solutions, enabling users to run one-piece lots, high-volume production, and transference of bars or slugs for completing parts in one setup. Zone 1 has fixed headstock, supporting bar work up to 1 5/8 in. dia with...
Read More »Force Limiting Step Chucks facilitate thin-wall turning.
Step Chucks 16C and 20C are engineered with force control to prevent crushing or distorting thin-wall parts during turning and grinding operations. Units mount directly to spindle and use spring-loaded design as primary closing mechanism. Force-limiting step chuck assembly adjusts grip while eliminating need to manually adjust draw bar force. Since proper grip force is predetermined and applied...

Manual VDI tool presetter system works with horizontal and vertical turning lathes to allowing machine operators to measure tool position height and length outside of machines during cycling. Portable unit has 12 x 18 in. footprint that can be shared by operators. System includes 12 in. manual height gage, centerline block, granite surface plate, and choice of VDI 30 or 40 toolholder block.
Read More »Collets and Guide Bushings suit Swiss-type lathes.
Headstock and sub-spindle collets are ground to precise size and TIR to meet precision machining requirements. Carbide-lined, Swiss guide bushings keep stock clean and unmarked, and extended-nose collets are suited for pick-off work or to compensate for tooling interference. Heat-treated to 40 Rockwell at head, they also serve as emergency collets.
