Product Introduction : Vise Jaws and Cut-Off / Grooving Tooling

Every once in a while we like to include some new product information that we come across while surfing the web. Products that would interest us based on our chipmaking or machine repair experiences. We are not endorsing any product ... we don't have any relationships with the companies ... just passing the information along. We know everyone out there are adults ... and can make up your own minds if the products we bring to your attention are a good fit for you and your requirements.

This is such a post ....

Product #1 : Walter Grooving System
Anyone involved with CNC turning ... specifically grooving and cut-off ... knows that oftentimes those operations can be tough. Eliminating long stringy chips ... or just eliminating plain old chips ... can be a real challenge. We stumbled upon the Walter CUT - SX system of grooving tools and knew right away we wouldn't be the only ones that were impressed. Sure the turning grooving / cut-off tools are cool ... but they also have system for milling cutters as well.

From the Walter website :
"The Walter CUT-SX system offers a variety of advantages :
  • Lower inventory cost due to one-cutting insert type being used for multiple tool variants
  • Maximum tool life due to the optimized self-clamping system
  • User friendly self-clamping system for fast replacement of the cutting edge"

Product #2 : Carvesmart Vise Jaws
Anyone working an HMC or VMC knows the tough road of changing vise jaws. We recently did a product review post regarding the Chick One-Lok Vise which got a lot of interest from our readers. So when we stumbled upon and were impressed by these vise jaws ... we knew we had to pass them along as well.


To quote from the Carvesmart website :
"The Carvesmart Quick Change Vise Jaw System is a complete package of front loading dovetailed jaws for production and toolroom vises that are accurately changed in seconds. Carvesmart's extruded aluminum soft jaws replace homemade jaws with a less expensive option that can be saw cut to any length."
