Applying A High Speed Machining Discipline Without The Speed

In this shop, high speed machining makes sense at 4,000 rpm. While the disciplines the shop put in place made a new 15,000-rpm profiler dramatically more productive, high speed machining would have remained valuable even if the new machine never came. Acoording to a co-owner of this shop, high speed machining has no need for speed.

Chuck Helps Restore Thin-Walled, Hardened Parts To Roundness

Heat treating can distort parts, especially round, thin-walled workpieces. During finish-turning, such components can conform to the shape of the chuck, only to spring back to an out-of-round state after clamping. Hardinge has developed a chuck with multiple gripping fingers to avoid this problem.
