CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

"Vibration and chatter can be a challenge with extended length tooling when one is trying to optimize cycle times. The MillMax® tap test provided us with very specific parameters in which to set up our new tool right from the get-go. Time is money, so the faster you can get things working at peak efficiency, the quicker you see the payback.”
