Extended Tool Holder
Straight Shank Engraving Tool Extension has a 3/8" overall diameter.This Tool Holder is used for operations where an extra long tool is needed to reach into deep cavities or pockets and where larger diameter collet holding devices will not allow getting close enough to the cavity or pocket walls.
The Tool Holder holds 1/8” (0.125”) diameter tools and allows changing of the cutting tools from the front without removing the tool holder from the spindle.
Spring Loaded Engraving Tools
Spring Loaded Engraving Tools
Engrave using a CNC milling machine with a Spring Loaded Engraving Tool.Engrave curved, uneven and flat surfaces faster than using a rigid tool.

Armor Mill and Armor Drill
For milling and drilling hard materials, granite, stone, armorplate, brick, hardened steel, high speed steel and to drill out broken taps and mills.Vacuum Chucks
Modular Vacuum Chucks
Modular 8" x 12" Vacuum Chucks are a unique system that allows Vacuum Chuck Pallets to be combined and increase your vacuum workholding area as needed. Connect 2, 3, 4 or more Vacuum Chucks to increase the workspace. This allows for quick and flexible set up for prototypes and is excellent for high production workholding.Modular Vacuum Chucks can be used as a Vacuum Chuck using a Vacuum Pump, or use as a workholding Pallet with Workstops and Edge Clamps eliminating the need for custom fixturing. Purchase Modular Vacuum Chucks separately or as a complete Vacuum System with Modular Vacuum Chuck and either Portable Electric Vacuum Pump or Air Venturi Generator as the vacuum source.
Vacuum Chucks - Large
Large size Vacuum Chucks produced from flat ground hi-tensile cast aluminum plate with a unique grid design that maximizes the holding power.Large Vacuum Chucks are available in three standard sizes of 13" x 25", 18" x 36" or 24" x 48".
Purchase these Vacuum Chucks separately or as a complete Vacuum System with Vacuum Chuck with either a Portable Electric Vacuum Pump or Air Venturi Generator and accessories.
