Balancing Indexable Cutting Tools

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:23:00 GMT

When manufacturing custom indexable cutting tools, some cutting tools are required to be balanced to a certain RPM. We have the capability to balance these tools to any specification required. This also allows us to rebalance any repaired indexable cutting tool.

For example:

A customer may send us a large 10” diameter cutter that we fully load with cartridges and balance for maximum cutting tool performance.

We have a library that contains multiple fixtures for virtually all connections. Below are some common connections we have:

Cat 50 Fixture for indexable cutting tools

Cat 40 Fixture for indexable cutting tools

Cat 30 Fixture for indexable cutting tools

HSK100 Fixture for indexable cutting tools

HSK80 Fixture for indexable cutting tools

Indexable Cutting Tool Repair

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:27:00 GMT

As the domestic leader in indexable cutting tool repair, we pride ourselves on our quality. We DO NOT anneal any indexable cutting tools like some of our competitors. We match our proprietary weld to the hardness of the existing tool. This ensures the integrity of the tool steel will not be changed. When you anneal and heat treat an indexable cutting tool, you change the original composition of the tool as well as jeopardize the overall integrity of the indexable cutting tool. If you have any questions about the annealing process, or the heat treat process, please feel free to contact us.
