Zero-Z Short Toolholder Offers Unmatched Flexibility

REGO-FIX is proud to announce the release of its newest toolholder, the Zero-Z. Appropriately named for its machining capabilities, the flexible Zero-Z features an incredibly short projection, allowing for more z-axis stroke and greater work piece size.

Ideal for multiplex turning machines and small vertical machining centers, the Zero-Z offers improved surface finish, unsurpassed accuracy and complete tool rigidity. The toolholder's unique design features a flush collet nut, whereby tool overhang is virtually eliminated. Like all REGO-FIX toolholders, the Zero-Z is pre-balanced to G2.5 at 22,000 rpm. For added clamping force, the Zero-Z comes standard with REGO-FIX'S Hi-Q external clamping nut.

Currently, the Zero-Z is compatible with the CAT 40 taper and REGO-FIX's ER 32 series of collets. The ER series is the most widely used and accepted clamping system in the world, offering two levels of precision - standard and ultra-precision (UP). Offered in standard and metric sizes, the ER 32 collets can accurately clamp tool shanks ranging from 1.0 mm (0.0394") up to 20.0 mm (0.7874"). The Zero-Z holder in the ER series is compatible with both precision levels.

Additionally, the Zero-Z can be used with REGO-FIX's tapping collets for a variety of tapping applications. These collets are available in rigid tapping and axially compensating tapping styles.
