I bought the Lathe Jaws a few weeks ago and have been putting them to work holding 304 stainless round bar. They have been doing an excellent job, and saved me an 1" of material per part being able to hold onto such a small amount of material. A second bonus is they can also be used like standard lathe jaws to hold onto small diameter parts my regular hard jaws won't
We purchased the 7/8" wide T-Slot covers for a large table surface mill and it will save us a ton of time cleaning the chips out of the nook and crannies, great product, and quick delivery. Very happy so far.
We originally bought a set of four for our CNC Mill but they have never made it to the CNC side. We had a job come in that was a large bearing housing that needed to be sleeved. We couldn’t get it clamped and indicated in properly in the manual lathe. That’s when we moved to the Bridgeport manual mill. The housing rough casting and semi round on the outside with no real places to put toe clamps. We grabbed the set of Ignite clamps shimmed them off the table with some one two three blocks and used them like you would lathe chuck jaws. The way the clamps gripped and held the part while applying a positive downforce on the table was impressive to say the least. This set of clamps will be staying with our Bridgeport fixtures and we will be buying another set to use on the CNC. These clamps are far superior over the serrated style that adjust with the set screws. The downward force being applied with the bolt and wedge design of the Ignite clamps is the way to go. Next time we use them for something like this we will post a short video to show how they can be used.
First of all great product, I wish I could have found this product sooner. The amount of time I've saved will be worth it. I have them on all my mills. If your buying a piece of equipment this should be the first item then a vice. Highly recommend.
These milling machine T-Slot inserts are awesome!!! I wish I would have found these years ago. Super easy to install, and chips blow right off my table now!
These t-slot covers have made cleaning our mill a breeze. They are built to last and have held up perfectly for almost two years now. We highly recommend this product for it's convenience and the time it saves!
I am very pleased with the service and the product ! I used it on a European Mill with 12 mm T-slots . It's a little tight but with some oil it installed beautiful ! I actually have to get some more as it did not cover all what I wanted to ...
I have had our chip guards for over 6 months and love them. They were very easy to install and cut to fit around my vises. If you ever need to add hold downs to the table its very easy to pull up and cut them to fit. They make cleaning the machine so much easier than before, no chips stuck underneath our vises for months. I won't operate another machine without these covers.
I have these on 2 machines right now. A Haas VF6, and a Hurco with a 5 Axis head. They fit like a glove on both machines and perform as expected. Cleaning the machines is so much simpler now.
These are great quality and make my mill not only look better, but makes clean up a breeze.
The Octane chip guards are the real deal. Works as advertised and saves a ton of time keeping our 11 mills free of chips. You're missing out if you don't have them installed.
Great product, Fit perfect!
We use MQL as coolant, it builds on everything and gets a bit tacky over time but a little WD-40 cleans it right off and there has been no ill effects to the Octane Chip Guard.Hot chips do not bother it at all...no melting...looks like new after over 6 months.
Highly recommended!
Use these in all our mills, absolutely love them. I will say, I highly recommend putting rust preventative in there if it's a production environment and periodically clean them out.
These T- slot covers save a lot of time when it comes to cleaning. They will pay for their self.
These clamps are strong, well engineered and manufactured to high standard. Must have for any tool box for big milling jobs.
Clean design, intuitive, easy to use. Grab 6 for any odd job to make setup simple. Holds on tight!
We've been using the product for about a year now and it's holding up great against hot chips. It's so nice not having to clean out clogged up t-slots all the time!
What an amazing product! I couldn’t be any happier! They are easy to install, they work great and you save yourself a ridiculous amount of time and effort all while being affordable. Best part is you’re supporting a small USA business that puts a lot of effort into the industry! 10/10 would and will buy again!
They are not a glamorous product, but it's beauty is how much time they will save you because the chips flow off the table during the machining process. Chips also blast off the table during part swap overs, and you can save time with vise and chuck swap overs by just giving the table a blast, a sweep of the palm and then pulling the gasket rather than spending 25min blowing out t slots.
Ordered these for some plate work, and had some irregular shaped die parts come up. Extremely stable, fast to set up. Such and improvement over toe clamps for many things.
Running a small high school shop, every minute is precious - the less we spend on cleanup the better, and these covers have reduced that process from 10m down to 2. Hose it down, blow it off, game on. Put them on both a haas and a bridgeport, and they worked flawlessly on both. Great product!
These are a real time saver for us. Worth the money for sure.
Love the low profile gripping, as we do a lot of slug work.
We have zero point plates from Lang on all of our machines. Making the T-Slots unusable for us. It only makes sense to cover them up for the looks and ease of keeping them clean!
We even use these on our mill turn machines,
one in the video is 800MM dia at 900rpm
