Square Adaptors - Square Adaptors for use on Traditional Slotting, and Shaping Machines The Square Adaptors provide a means of interfacing the Broaching System to a wide variety of conventional Slotting and Shaping Machines. The Square Adaptors are available in 1.378 (35mm) and 1.575 (40mm) size and accept the 25mm Tool Holder and 32mm Tool Holder respectively. The Adaptor offers a locating slot on each of its four sides enabling accurate 90 indexing. Centering Plates - Centering Plates for use in Tool Holders The appropriate size Centering Plate is mounted in the Tool Holder to facilitate correct mounting and orientation of the Tool Holder with the machine. Through the use of a sensor or dial indicator, the centering of the Plate will be readily transferred to the Insert when mounted in the Tool Holder. The Eccentric Bushing mentioned earlier may also be introduced in instances where a Y-axis adjustment is not available. Sharpening Stems - Sharpening Stems for Stock Inserts Hexagon shanked Sharpening Stems are available for mounting and supporting an Insert during re-sharpening. Inserts that show a decline in surface finish (a sign of wear), can have their life extended through a re-sharpening process. The Inserts are designed to allow two to three re-sharpenings, more if tolerances allow. Recoating of the Insert is required after sharpening. Sharpening must be properly performed using an appropriate grinder and grinding wheel. The original cutting angle must be maintained. Mounting Screws - Insert Mounting Screws, Drivers and Set Screw Inserts are mounted in the Tool Holder using a Torx Screw or a 5mm Hex Screw. The Screw size varies with the size of the Insert and Tool Holder. Replacement and extra Screws are available to avoid downtime, as are Torx Drivers as needed. Swivel Ball-Bearing Point Set Screws are used only in Lathes without Y-axis during Eccentric Bushing rotation to correct symmetry errors. Do not over-tighten the Ball-Bearing Point Set Screw - it must allow the Tool Holder to move up and down as the Bushing is rotated. It is important to confirm the screw/bolt requirements for the existing tooling to be used in the mounting of the tooling system.
