Kaiser Tool Co. has expanded its line of ThinBit toolholders with the addition of Swiss angled toolholders which are designed for top slide position on a Swiss screw machine.
The angled toolholders position the insert at 30°, 45° or 60° angles for reliefs, undercuts and angled outer diameter (OD) and face grooves. The toolholders are available in square shank sizes.
The angled toolholders are for use with Thinbit inserts in grades for ferrous and nonferrous materials. Inserts are available in sizes from 0.004"-0.150" in 0.001" increments coated with TiN, TiAlN, TiCN, diamond film or uncoated.
The company says modifications can be provided on any of Kaiser’s tooling. Due to the potential complexity of configuring these toolholders, the company recommends calling for assistance.

Measuring Taper For Toolholders And Spindle Applications
Companies concerned about strict quality requirements regularly check toolholder tapers for wear or inaccuracy because these conditions can jeopardize the results of a critical operation. However, a shop can check tapers quickly and reliably with air gages. These devices can be used effectively without special operator training. For measuring taper in a production environment, few other methods can match the speed and performance of air, as multiple-circuit air jets can be placed in very small taper gages.
