Manufacturing has had the tools for quite some time. Since the 80's any ways. The manual tool room is dead. No parts will ever be more effectively run on a manual machine with manual labor ever again. If you have conversational CNC's in your tool room and think your up to date? think again.

I would like to introduce you to a way of setting your tooling to your machine not your machine to your tooling. Whats the difference you may ask. Ok lets start off with your average tap and drill. If you have to re calibrate your tap drill everytime you change it, your losing money compared to this system. If fact if your re calibrating any tool after you change it your losing productivity right? Ok then lets get you up to speed. If I can show you a way to pre set your tools so that when they need changed out you simply open the collet push your new tool to the back stop, close the collet and your ready, would you buy it?.

forget the adjustable jacobs style drill chuck. throw them out or sell them on E-bay. They were great on the manual machines but they suck on the auomatic ones. What I'm offering is a way to never have to touch off a tool ever again. Your tooling will be ready to make chips as soon as you get it replaced. not after you have set your machine to it. You can change a worn tool while the machine is running and when it gets to the tool you changed your machine keeps right on going. NO errors or crashes either I promise.

My system of tool holders and tapping heads will make changing worn tools and taps a breeze. Programming becomes simpler with a standard array of tooling that can be programmed into your CAM software wich ever one you use. With down time minimized to a point you will wonder why you even have an operator any more. How can I say that? I have a fully functional tool room myself that can make any part up to 60 inches in size and I run it myself. I've developed this system and cut my work force to 1/3 and put out more product than ever before. Think about it. If you can produce the same volume of product with 1/3 the work force you can offer better pricing, get more jobs, Make more money. You must have CNC equipment allready in place other than that you would be ready as soon as you tool up with my tool holders with adjustable positive stops.

DA-200 tapping solution

Posted by no1toolmkr Oct 5, 2008


Well the website is back up anyway. still don't have my opensource portal ready as I wanted but heres the gimmick. all of my tooling is opensourcable. meaning that I made my own tooling so I can use it and then inventory the extras for retail to anyone with a machine shop who wants them. If you set up a CNC machine of any sort these tools will benifit you greatly in their quality and price. And there is no reason you could not make them yourselves if your up to it. Sometime later as I get my new platform up and running I'll show you just how to make the tooling in house but for now Here they are. Ready for distribution. In the picture below I'm showing a real price comparison. I can manufacture for you 2 collet holders and 1 tapping head for about the same price as you can get a tapping head from the competition. If you set up and program CNC's you have got to try this system. I guarantee you will save money. You will be able to inventory more tooling ready to use for less money. And that people is efficiency.

bad head

Posted by no1toolmkr Aug 22, 2008


If you have and use the DA-200 collet system from any manufacture your heads probably get all chewed up from slipped wrenches, then the channel locks and then finally, it takes the vise grip to get that head off. It seems to be the nature of the beast. small tools taking the beating of everyday use. You just need access to service for your tooling. You need to be able to pick up the phone or drop an e-mail and have ya a new one. So next time you get bad head. You know what to do. Get a new head from Eric's Tool Room, Inc.

Open sourcing to be the new rage? maybe. If your like me you've got 10's or even 100's of thousands of dollars all around you in tooling, and its not all that special either. Go ahead look I dare you. You've got this tool and that tool Oh and that one over there you paid extra for it just to have it fast because you needed it yesterday. Uh huh. I've got an idea for you. pick one of then up that you use alot. It don't matter just pick one up. See how its made. Golly I bet you could make one of those couldn't you... I bet its an old design on a new tool tool too so theres no patent infringement either. not that their would be if you made one for yourself. I'm trying a new idea here. I love the DA-200 collet holders. and their counterpart tapping head that uses DA-200 collets as well. I think they are just super at the small stuff. you know little hole big part. I'm manufacturing a bunch of them just because, and I'll sell you the extras cheaper than you can buy them and I'll have an inventory of them just waiting on your call because I'm tired of paying $100.00 plus shipping for the darn things. I'm selling the collet holders at $58.00 ea. they are very professionally made with a black oxided finnish. THATS 58% of retail MAN.....

Tell you what. you go pick up one of those tools you hate to buy make some and maybe I'll need one someday and I'll be on the phone with you wanting one yesterday. meanwhile if you need a DA-200 collet holder call me.. or just go make one gees..
