Advanced G-Series Shaving Systems from Schlitter

Advanced shaving system provides excellent control of critical OD tolerances without fuss.

US 6,880,436 B2

Advantages:

  1. Increased rigidity fights chatter caused by loose slide.

  2. Use either dovetail tooling or our advanced Direct Mount Inserts for extended machine up-time.

  3. Locking float adjustment for prevents drift in setup.

  4. Precision engineered gib can be adjusted with a single screw (no cheap brass gibs in Schlitter holders).

  5. Uses the same roll holders and jaws as our best-selling pin-style holders, preserving your investment in spare parts.

  6. Over 19 different holders engineered to fit most American and European screw machines.

A shave support helps prevent chatter and increases accuracy.

Tool posts are inexpensive and provide more rigidity
than dovetail tools.

G-Series holders can use standard dovetail tooling or advanced Direct Mount Inserts.

We spent years getting feedback from owners and operators before designing our new G-Series™ Shaving System. Our original, best-selling pin style shave tool holders could wear over time, requiring regular maintenance to prevent a loose head which might allow chatter.

Our New G-Series shaving system resists wear in the slide mechanism and gives the user the ability to adjust for wear when it occurs. The overall design of the holder is simple, to reduce maintenance and to provide consistent accuracy.

We designed the new holder to accept both traditional dovetail tooling and advanced new insert style tooling. We call this our Direct Mount™ insert system. This system eliminates the design limitations of using dovetail adapters with inserts. We eliminated tool clamps for most parts under 1 ½” long for better coolant and chip flow and to avoid any blind pockets where a small chip could cock the insert during tool change.

Direct Mount™ inserts are self aligning and fool proof. They are available in both HSS and carbide in both unfinished blanks and with finished forms.

The G-Series holders are a great value and preserve your investment in parts, mounting blocks and tooling. The next time you need a shave tool holder, make it a G-Series™ holder from Schlitter Tool.

 

Pin Style Shaving Systems

Schlitter Pin Style Shaving Systems have been the standard the world over for 7 decades. We've improved over the original design through the use of better materials and tighter manufacturing processes. Schlitter ships more shave tool holders each year than all the other manufacturers combined.

Shaving Supports Reduce Chatter, Increase Accuracy

We make shave supports (single roll supports) for a wide variety of screw machines and can even make them for Euroturn, Tornos and other European designs. Call for details.

Shave Tooling  Our adapters are among the lowest cost in the industry.

We manufacture shave and form tooling to exacting tolerances to make your life easier.

Available styles:

  1. Advanced Direct Mount Inserts. Ideal for increasing productivity and machine uptime. No clamps to interfere with chip or coolant flow. Available in various widths in HSS and tough, micro-grain carbide. NEW: You can finish EDM your insert blanks or we can finish them for you in our state-of-the-art facility.

  2. Brazed Carbide for materials or jobs requiring long tool life and higher accuracies than HSS.

  3. HSS in all grades.

  4. Dovetail blanks for those with their own EDM machines.

How Shaving Works:

Shaving corrects for the two most common causes of sizing error on a screw machine:

Infeed Error: Infeed error occurs when the slide does not consistently repeat as it feeds into the work.

Index Error: Index error occurs when the machine does not index perfectly between stations, causing the tool to come in slightly higher or lower from spindle to spindle.

 

Follow the diagram below to see how shaving works:

STEP 1:

Shave tool holder feeds toward work. Roll (blue) is set to contact the part before the tool (red).

STEP 2:

Roll contacts work before the tool, lifting the tool into the cut.

STEP 3:

The shave head feeds through and slightly past part centerline. Diameter is controlled by the distance between the roll and the tool, not by the infeed. Because the shave head floats and cuts past centerline, shaving automatically corrects for both infeed and index errors.

Typical tolerance is ±.0005" inches on the diameter.
Double shaving typically reduces the tolerance to only
±.00025".
