What It Is, Why It Matters: Proper Collet Nut Torque
Just as important as machine tools and cutters are to precision machining operations, so too are proper toolholding setups. With that said, properly torqued collet nuts are critical to toolholder performance. While it may seem like a minor piece of the puzzle,...
Only You – and the Right Suppression System – Can Prevent Machine Tool Fires
For this first blog in REGO-FIX’s “What’s Best for Your Shop” series, we focus on CNC machine tool fire prevention systems that will keep you and your employees safe as well as protect valuable equipment assets. The common causes of machine fires, according to...
The Three Keys to Optimal Toolholding for Motor Sports Machining
Like other high-tech industries, motor sports teams demand precision manufacturing. When a machine shop produces critical parts for cars that operate at high speeds and high RPMs, every job must meet specs on the nose. In the hands of skilled operators, high-quality...
REGO-FIX Myth Buster: All Toolholders Are Manufactured to the Same Quality Standards
Most toolholders appear nearly identical on paper in terms of their materials, geometries, and tolerance claims. In real-world machining environments, however, the truth comes out, and those similarities quickly disappear. The truth is simple: not all toolholders are...
What It Is and Why It Matters: Vibration Monitoring and Smart Toolholders
In our first blog for our “What It Is and Why It Matters” series, we went over the fundamentals of total indicator runout (TIR), vibration damping and concentricity, which are three essential factors that define machining precision. For our second installment, we took...
Three Things to Know Before Selecting a Toolholding System for High-Speed Machining
High-speed and multi-axis machining continue to reshape modern manufacturing, driving shops to seek greater precision, faster cycle times and tighter tolerances. But delivering consistent performance at elevated speeds is about more than spindle power and advanced CAM...
REGO-FIX Myth Buster: Tool Balancing Only Matters at Exceptionally High RPMs
It’s a common assumption in many machine shops that balancing only matters when spinning at extreme spindle speeds. That assumption overlooks a simple but critical fact: Imbalance affects cutting performance even at typical, everyday machining speeds. At REGO-FIX, we...
What It Is and Why It Matters: Clamping Force and Torque Transfer
In our first blog for our “What It Is and Why It Matters” series, we explored the fundamentals of total indicator runout (TIR), vibration damping, and concentricity, which are three essential factors that define machining precision. For our second installment, we take...
