Course Description

Presented and Sponsored by: ETP Transmission, Inc.

Choosing the proper CNC tool holder is critical for your tool assembly if the highest expectations for both machine and cutting tool performance are to be achieved.

We’ll discuss use and care of hydraulic toolholders from the box to the machine, the problems these can be used to solve in your shop, and touch on the differences and pitfalls between different toolholding systems (shrink, ER collets, etc). By using ETP HYDRO-GRIP toolholders, you will achieve minimal runout, unrivalled repeatability and the best possible surface finish at super high feed speeds. We’ll present a few case studies and discuss some published vibration findings.
