2017 is here and it's time to take inventory. So, what's in every shop? Commercial and hobby shops all have these things all in common:
- Machinist doing the work
- Machine (drill press, lathe, mill, etc) running the tools
- Tools
- Tool holders
Naturally there are the things like raw materials, cutting and cleaning fluids, and collets and their wrenches too. Hey and don't forget chuck and his key! But what every efficient shop must have are the little things that allow all of the big things to work together. A
CNC tool tray is one of those things.
CNC Tool Trays by the Tapers
There may be many models of machines but there are just a few milling machine tapers. You will find that most machines have a 30, 40, or 50 taper. As you know, the larger the taper the more powerful the mill. 60 taper machines are extremely large and extremely uncommon. The idea of a CNC tool is to perform tool set-up in the tool crib or tool storage area. Then you use the tray to safely transport the tools to the machining area. This reduces the risk of tool damage. Tool carts aren't easy to navigate between equipment. That makes them a bad idea. Carry a
CNC tool tray with handles and navigate even the tightest spaces.
