The role of the toolholder in high-speed milling is really no different than its role when applied conventionally. The role of the toolholder is always to provide an interchangeable interface between a machine spindle and a cutting tool, such that the effectiveness of either component is not diminished.

In today's fast paced, ever changing global manufacturing environment, the Management of the worlds production engineering and manufacturing resources are driven by several key forces.

Many manufacturers are facing multiple challenges to stay profitable and competitive. Some of these include price, delivery and intense competition.

“Shops that machine small parts may have the luxury of scrap, but we don’t,” says Don Covert, President of Covert Manufacturing. “Accuracy, speed, and a stable process are vital. Big parts take longer to machine, so you have to maximize the number of parts you finish in a day, without sacrificing quality...
