Fabricator’s Kit with #2 Morse Taper Magnetic Drill
This kit from Hougen bundles an HMD2MT #2 Morse Taper magnetic drill with a number of accessories to give steel fabricators the ability to tackle more jobs by using less tools.

Precision Cut to Length and Miter Cutting of Metal Tubes, Sections, Solids
Manual, semi-automatic and fully automated KASTOmicut swing-frame bandsaws from KASTO deliver high precision cuts on different materials and hard-to-machine alloys, all with an attractive price-performance ratio.

Tap Large Diameter Holes Quickly, Consistently Without Reaming or Preparation
By significantly reducing tap breakage through a purpose-centered approach, the versatile and robust GH-60 hydraulic tapping arm from FlexArm is an ideal alternative to tapping large diameter holes manually or via CNC, even laser cut holes.

Rotational Torch Sleeves for Bevel and Robotic Cutting Applications
To greatly increase torch life and productivity during high-flex cutting of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, rotational torch sleeves from Hypertherm rotate 360 deg clockwise or counter-clockwise while the torch and lead sets remain axially fixed.

How to Make Hydraulic Ironworkers More Efficient and User Friendly
Low-profile LED work lights, a jog motor control and a snap ring removal tool from Scotchman can greatly increase productivity in punch, shear and notch station operations.

Ready-To-Use Micromachining System for Job Shops
Shipped with pre-programmed process parameters for the desired application, highly flexible ExactCut micromachining systems from Coherent are ideal for prototypes, short runs and rapid changeovers needed for medical devices, electronics, automotive, horology and other demanding work.

Match the Correct Hole Saw to the Job
Engineered for certain materials, power tools and jobs, Starrett hole saws follow a web-based software program that recommends the correct bi-metal, carbide tipped, diamond grit or arbored hole saw, operating speeds, and power tool or machine that is best suited for the application at hand.

Custom-Blended Waterjet Abrasive for Solid Cutting Power and Value
Affordable FUSION 80-mesh abrasive from Barton perfectly balances the best of alluvial garnet and staurolite abrasives for a variety of cutting applications.

Next Generation Waterjet Nozzles Improve Precision Cutting Uptime
APX nozzles from Kennametal are ideal for long, uninterrupted cuts or close tolerances that must be maintained for long periods to ensure part integrity or minimize expensive scrap due to premature nozzle failure.

Flexible Lights-Out Large-Format Fiber Laser Cutting
For high production volumes and a high variety of jobs where parts separation and sorting is a bottleneck, fully automated Phoenix FL 4020 and Phoenix FL 6020 large-format fiber laser cutting machines from LVD Strippit maximize productivity with high speed cutting, reduced material handling and preparation time.
