When a part needs to run true and concentric, many machinists instinctively reach for a four-jaw independent chuck. But is that always the best option?

In the latest Daily Grind podcast preview, Robert Layng explores the advantages of three-jaw set-thru chucks, including faster setup, reliable workholding, and reduced frustration when dialing in precision parts.

Read the column and discover why three jaws may sometimes outperform four.

Nobody gets excited about hand deburring.

It's time-consuming, repetitive, and often creates a bottleneck in production. Today's CNC deburring tools are changing that by bringing deburring directly into machining centers and robotic systems, improving consistency while reducing manual labor.

In "No Hands Required for Deburring," Alan Richter explores the latest deburring technologies, including floating toolholders, automated edge finishing solutions, and tools designed for everything from large castings to tiny precision bores.

Manufacturing internships are quietly reshaping the talent pipeline across the U.S.—but not evenly.
In the May issue of Cutting Tool Engineering, Terry M. Iverson explores how states with strong CTE and work-based learning systems are building real momentum in manufacturing careers—and why others risk falling behind.

Transor’s unique chiller system removes the heat from your
machining and your plant. Coolant is kept at a consistent +/- 0.01ºC delivering predictable, repeatable performance. By achieving thermal stability, tolerances are consistently held, reducing scrap and re-works.

On cellular systems, the integrated chillers can be moved to either side of the filter for unobstructed service access. With centralized systems, the chiller can be located in a separate space or even outside of the facility to alleviate all heat from the workplace.
