These t-slot covers have made cleaning our mill a breeze. They are built to last and have held up perfectly for almost two years now. We highly recommend this product for it's convenience and the time it saves!

I have had our chip guards for over 6 months and love them. They were very easy to install and cut to fit around my vises. If you ever need to add hold downs to the table its very easy to pull up and cut them to fit. They make cleaning the machine so much easier than before, no chips stuck underneath our vises for months. I won't operate another machine without these covers.

I have these on 2 machines right now. A Haas VF6, and a Hurco with a 5 Axis head. They fit like a glove on both machines and perform as expected. Cleaning the machines is so much simpler now.

When boring deep holes, there is no better solution than a dampened boring bar. Vibrations or "Chatter" are a constant battle when boring, the length to diameter ratio of a boring bar determines it's effective range. Boring bars can be made from different materials which change the bars properties. In this video, I demonstrate setting up a dampened bar at a 9 to 1 ratio. That means for this 1.000" diameter bar, 9.000" is extended from the holder.The effective length to diameter ratio of a common steel boring bar is 3 to 1.Ratios of 4 to 1, or even 5 to 1 are possible, often with significant experimentation though. (This is demonstrated via the "knock test" at different projection ratios. If the bar is tapped and it reverberates, it will likely chatter, if a solid thud is heard, the bar will likely cut well.) The effective length to diameter ratio of a carbide boring bar is 6 to 1. Greater ratios are possible once again through experimentation. The trend here is the more $$$ you spend the deeper you can bore without issues. A carbide bar is often 2-3 times the cost of a steel boring bar. Where steel is somewhat flexible, carbide is extremely rigid. The tendency to chatter is overcome with sheer rigidity, just like the steel bar. Finally we come to dampened boring bars, internal mechanisms passively absorb any incoming chatter as the bar enters the cut. Picture a tuning fork being grabbed which stops the fork oscillating immediately. The bar is somewhat flexible like the steel bar, but instead of the chatter taking over, the dampened bar absorbs it. Deflection will still be present when trying to hold a bore tolerance, but it can be accounted for. Length to diameter ratios of 10 to 1 are common with steel dampened bars, with 14 to 1 ratios being possible with carbide reinforced dampened bars. As can be heard in this demonstration, the dampened boring bar passed the knock test with flying colors. This phenomenal technology does not come without a cost, this type of boring bar is often up to 10x's the cost of a plain steel bar. When the job demands a solution, not choosing the right tool is often much more costly in the long run.If you are having issues boring, here are a few tips and tricks to minimize them.1. Reduce Cutting Speed2. Increase Depth of Cut (Rule of thumb is at least your tool nose radius)3. Increase Feed Rate if Possible4. Choose a Smaller Tool Nose Radius5. Minimize The Bars Stickout6. SSV (Spindle Speed Variation) if your machine is capable of slowing down and speeding up the spindle automatically at a chosen interval, it can work wonders to reduce chatter just like the dampened bar.7. Grip the bar by at least 4 x's the diameter. 1.000" bar = 4.000" grip.8. Use cylindrical clamping. Imagine trying to hold a weight with your fingertips (set screws) vs. your entire hand (cylindrical clamping) One is much more secure than the other and deadens vibrations.9. Choose the largest bar possible for the bore10. Reduce Feed Rate if it helps11. Use Coolant..Just the addition of coolant can aid in effectively shearing a chip.12. Proper Alignment..There are many methods of assuring the bar is properly aligned with each axis, as well as the parts centerline. A great old school method of lightly scratching a line with a tool that is aligned with part center is demonstrated in this video. Aligning the tip with the point of a center in the tailstock is another easy way. I cover many on our Instagram page.13. Workholding of the piece itself, if the part itself has a tendency for vibration no boring bar will fix that.

I am very pleased with the service and the product ! I used it on a European Mill with 12 mm T-slots . It's a little tight but with some oil it installed beautiful ! I actually have to get some more as it did not cover all what I wanted to ...
