You don't need a CNC to take advantage of the Tormach Tooling System. Manual operations benefit from quick change, reduced clearance, and increased rigidity. This tooling package includes a basic set that will introduce you to all of those features. The manual mill operators set improves productivity in manual milling.

Tooling package with all the essentials for an R8 bench mill.

Milling Vise: Precision 4" Kurt-style milling vice. Top, gib, jaws, bottom of vise bed and all plate mounting surfaces are ground. The angle tight positive lock style jaws are interchangeable with industry standard machine vises, are hardened and ground, and can be mounted on either end of the fixed and movable jaw supports for a wide range of clamping distances.

Overall length is 13.4" and the height is 3.46". Jaws are 4" wide, 1.27" deep, open 4", and are perpendicular to the ways within 0.002" in 4". The ways are parallel to the base within 0.0006" in 4" without the swivel.

Thin Parallels: Set of ten pairs, 1/8" thick x 4" long, in fitted case. Made of high-grade alloy steel hardened to 52-58 RC, parallel within 0.0002" on top and bottom. Parallel heights: 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1", 1-1/8", 1-1/4", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", and 1-5/8" (pairs matched within 0.0004").

End Mills: 20 piece set included 2 flute and 4 flute center cutting TiN coated HSS end mills sizes 3/16"-3/4" by 16ths.

R8 Collets: Set of seven high-grade tool hardened steel, sizes 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4".

1-2-3 Blocks: Ground and hardened on all sides to 50-60 RC, sizes 1" x 2" x 3". Parallel within 0.0002", flat within 0.0002", and square within 0.00021". Set has two matched blocks, 23 holes of which 5 are threaded 3/8"-16 NC.

Center Drills: Five sizes combined drills and countersinks made of high speed steel. Sizes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 with 60 degree counter sinks.

The Tormach Tooling System Starter Set includes two set screw end mill adapters, one ER-20 collet chuck with three collets, a TTS R8 collet, a 1/4" drill chuck, plus wrenches and installation tools.

Chris' Tips

Chris' Tips
Tool switching with the Tormach Tooling System (TTS) is extremely easy: Simply loosen the drawbar, slide out the current tool holder, then slip in the next and retighten. The unique geometry of the TTS tool holder ensures that, as the drawbar is tightened, the tool holder moves into an exact Z height while increasing rigidity. Each TTS holder has a shoulder that is undercut so it contacts the spindle itself, not the end of the collet. As the drawbar is tightened the collet will simultaneously squeeze the shank and be pulled upward into the spindle taper. This simultaneous action, grasping while moving up, pulls the tool holder tightly against the spindle face. The high-pressure contact between the shoulder of the tool holder and the spindle is the equivalent of a zero tolerance fit; the vertical location (Z-height) of the tool is exact. The initial placement, created by simply sliding the tool holder up until it stops, is normally within a few thousandths of an inch. The final location, after tightening the collet, is exact, highly repeatable, and not affected by the variable tension of the drawbar or wear on the collet.

Here is the complete Tormach Tooling System Catalog and the Tormach Tooling System Manual.

Here is a picture and an animated graphic showing how the Tormach Tooling System works.

Combined drills and countersinks, commonly called center drills, are used to produce a center hole on a workpiece for turning between centers. Center drills are also used to start drilled holes. Because they are very stiff they don't have a tendency to wander.

Here are the sizes of center drills.

Number	Body Dia.	Drill Dia.	Length
1	1/8"	3/64"	1 1/4"
2	3/16"	5/64"	1 7/8"
3	1/4"	7/64"	2"
4	5/16"	1/8"	2 1/8"
5	7/16"	3/16"	2 3/4"
