Toolholder Manufacturers

Having your tool database in our system makes it easier for users to access and test your tools. The databases included with every kit were scraped from websites or paper catalogs. Some SKUs and tool attributes may have been missed. While still able to provide actionable results in Dashboards, they might be fully optimized. Ensure they are by providing your data whether you have a kit or not.

It is very easy to learn and use. Here is a video. We have a comprehensive online training program that has be successfully used by over 200 individuals. Basic training takes just a few hours. If a CNC machine tool is not available to train with, a Bridgeport or drill press will also work. Our SimpleMilling™ application makes it very easy to take the first measurement.

Tap testing is a proven and validated technology, so we don't need to offer free trials. We do offer a $1250 30-day rental. 

SpeedCast is exclusively for milling.

Staggering the teeth or varying the helix angle does make an endmill immune to deflection and vibration. They are not 100% rigid. They still have speeds that are good and speeds that should be avoided. They still have depth of cut limits that can be optimized using the combination of tap testing, Dashboards and Harmonizer. 

Damped toolholders lower the frequency of vibration but do not eliminate them. Tap testing damped holders will reveal good and bad speeds. Also, damped holders are very long and suited for deep applications at slower speeds.

The kits are guaranteed for as long as your subscription is active. If your kit fails during that period, we will replace it via our Repair-by-Exchange program. The guarantee does not extend to consumables (cables, tips, wax and glue) or to replace lost components.

Wec have a chat function under the SUPPORT tab that will answer most questions and those it cannot will be immediately escalated to a live support engineer. 

Two primary reasons: (1)The SFM recommendations from tooling manufacturers are too conservative. Did you know that the speeds were determined using turning tests? Turning is in the cut constantly while with milling the teeth are in and out of the cut giving them time to cool. Milling tools can handle much higher speeds than the charts say. (2) The speed and feed charts can often give parameters that will chatter. The response to chatter is to slow down. We often find much higher stable speeds that could have been selected if they only knew they existed.

Yes, once validated for resell pricing you can buy kits and subscribe to software for your own use at those prices.
