What Is the Difference Between Standard and Optional Accessories?Â
Most of you understand this difference already.
But let’s do a quick review in case any beginners might be reading this:
Standard accessories are included with the base machine and cover the basic functions. These accessories typically include essential components like tool holders, tailstocks, work-holding fixtures and basic safety features like guards. Accessories “in the box” are designed to cover the most common and essential machining tasks, ensuring that the machine is operational and can perform its primary functions.
Optional accessories are add-on components that can be purchased separately to expand and optimize the machine’s capabilities for specific machining needs. They provide customization and flexibility, allowing machine operators to tailor their equipment to meet their unique requirements. Some examples of optional accessories include digital readouts (DROs) for precise measurements, power feeds for automated movement, coolant systems, specialized tooling or attachments for specific machining tasks.
Some Popular Machine Tool Accessories You’ll Find on Our Website
On our newly remodeled website, you’ll find accessory images and descriptions of what they do and their benefits.
Newall DROs
This system measures the linear movement of machine axes, typically the X and Z ones, to provide faster, more accurate and more consistent readings and eliminates the need for manual calculations.
Lathe Chucks like a 20” 4-Jaw Independent Chuck with D1-11 Mount
The independent jaws make it easier to accommodate different workpiece sizes and shapes. The D1-11 mount ensures a stable connection to the lathe’s spindle. This type of chuck is often found in heavy-duty and industrial lathes due to its size and versatility.
X/Y/Z Axis Power Feed
An X-Axis Power Feed is a device typically mounted on the side of the milling machine and consisting of a motor, gearbox and control unit. It is used to automate the movement of the machine’s X-axis horizontal movement table and can be integrated into the machine’s control system.
Y-Axis Power Feed works on a milling machine to automate the movement of the machine’s Y-axis table or front-to-back movement.
Z-Axis Power Feed
It automates the movement of the LeBlond mill’s Z-axis table or vertical movement. Its rapid feed allows the operator to move the position quickly rather than having to crank the knee up and down manually.
Y/Z Axis Microfeed
The Y-axis microfeed is a feature that allows for exact movements in the Y-axis direction of a K.O. Lee surface grinder to create precise dimensions and tolerances in the final workpiece.
The Z-axis microfeed allows for exact movements in the grinder’s Z-axis direction, enabling operators to make precise adjustments to the position of the cutting tool.
