The watchwords for today'sprogressive machinist are - producethe most accurate parts as quicklyand cost effectively as possible. Youcan accomplish this and more withGT-27. Gang tool design providessubstantially faster cycle times byeliminating tool changes associatedwith turret machines. Fewermachine parts also mean lesschance of mechanical failure. Andthe GT-27 delivers more accuratecuts because of short tool tip toguideway distance and its rigidpolymer bed construction.

Spindle - The ultra-rigid spindleproduces great low-end torque for heavycuts in tough materials and up to 6,000rpm for superior workpiece finishes. Itfeatures C-Axis control for real-worldmachining flexibility. A non-heatgenerating pneumatic collet is standard.

Tool Block - The generous 20"tool plate can accommodate up to 10tools total. A robust T-slot holds bothdead and live tools securely. Toolchangeover is fast and easy.

Chip Blanket - Efficient coolant flowand chip removal are accomplishedthrough interior lower slant design. Chipsare discharged into a side-mounted chipbucket.
