ER Collet Conundrum
Given the stringy nature of the chips from cutting 316, plus the cycle time penalty of single point threading, we decided to thread mill. When the job was set up, the thread mill chattered horribly.....The ER collet was technically the right size. The “inch” size shank of the tool was less than 1mm smaller than the ER collet nominal size. The collet nut was tightened down plenty tight. Tight enough where there really should be no question that it was holding onto the shank...more.

What is Swiss Turning?
Are you unfamiliar with Swiss turning? Do you tend to think of it as an ideal solution for larger lot sizes and somewhat inpractical for smaller jobs? Do you see it as something only for long round parts? Today's CNC Swiss is capable of so much more. So, if you're looking for an ideal way to produce parts complete in one operation, CNC Swiss might be the best solution for you.
