We where honored and privileged to be interviewed by IMTStv during the show in 2016! It enabled us to get the word out about our Microconic workholding solution that solves clamping problems that have never been solved before!
We discussed that many many people had just given up on trying to find a solution for balancing out production between the main spindle and the sub-spindle years and years ago. We where even more excited than most of the people that stopped by our booth to learn that we had indeed invented something that fixes the problem!

Matt Saccomanno, the inventor of the Microconic Workholding system discussed how it works at IMTS 2016. Masa Tool has developed the Microconic™ system specifically for holding workpieces from Ø0.15mm to 10mm (Ø0.006" to 0.390") in any machine that has a collet-type chuck. The system consists of two major components: The Microconic™ cartridge, which fits into your CNC machine spindle replacing the standard 5C, TF20 or TF25 collets, and the Microconic™ collet, which fits in the Microconic™ cartridge. The Microconic™ system has unsurpassed concentricity: Our manufacturing tolerance is 3µm (.0001") and we guarantee our cartridges to be within 5µm (0.0002") in production use in your machine. The Microconic™ system works with either draw-type or push-type standard collet systems that are in any machine. The Over-grip collet capabilities of Masa Microconic™ System, introduces a whole new world of time saving opportunities awaiting. Our Overgrip Collets open up to 4mm (0.157") diameter larger than the clamping diameter.
Our first IMTS show was a tremendous success! We got to meet many many new customers and where very pleasantly surprised by all the industry media people who stopped by to visit us at the show. We had an awful lot of people comment on the "Game Changing Workholding for Small Parts" by asking us "What's so game changing?" After they learned about the entire Microconic system we often heard them say "Wow! This is REALLY a game changer!!"
On Thursday, Harry Moser from the Reshoring Initiative visited us and we talked about how our products where developed right from our experience on the shop and because of the machining that is done locally in the Oceanside area. The video was posted live on our Facebook Page and you can find right here down below on the left.
Be sure to keep an eye our for some articles in some pretty big name magazines in the next few months. We're now on the look out for some application stories for them based upon the success you've had with our product. If you have a story to tell us be sure to leave it in the comments below or contact us so we can get all the details!
Make plans now to visit Masa Tool at the IMTS 2016 Booth W-2232 and learn about our new Microconic Workholding System.
The Microconic™ work holding system is a mechanically actuated micro-workholding system for use in high precision, small diameter CNC turning applications. The system consists of two major components: The Microconic™ cartridge, replaces the standard TF20 collets and fits into your CNC machine with no modifications to the spindle required. The second component to the system is the Microconic™ collets which have capacities of 0,22mm - 10,00mm ( 0.0086" - 0.3949") and -Over-Grip collets which can open up to 4mm over the chucking diameter and run within 5 µm/.0002" TIR It's the first and only workholding system for the micro-machining industry. Masa Tool introduces a 5C Microconic cartridge that maintains 5 µm concentricity and is now available for machining centers, CNC lathes, CNC mills, gang-tool lathes, like Omniturn, CNC mill/turn, like Nakamura, Miyano, Mori-Seiki, and even rotary indexers as well as tool and cutter grinders!
The Micoconic 5C cartridge is ideally suited for parts such as medical/dental device components, bone screws, thin-walled parts, miniature fluidic and electrical components, or anything under Ø10mm. About Masa Tool
