Collets are precision, work-holding chucks consisting of a slotted socket that, when tightened, automatically centers around a finished round or specialized stock.
Lathes and turning centers cut a rotating part with a stationary cutting tool. The tool moves parallel and perpendicular to the workpiece axis to provide the desired finished shape.
Milling machines move a clamped workpiece into a fixed, rotating cutter; or move the cutter itself into a stationary workpiece. There are two basic configurations: vertical and horizontal.
Tool holders (toolholders) are the physical interface between tooling and the machine tool. They vary in terms of machine-mount styles and are designed to perform specific applications.
Workholding components are precision-made production tooling used to safely and accurately position and hold work pieces during a production line process.
