According to Matt Saccomanno, CEO of Masa Machine Tool Accessories, he conceived the Microconic™ cartridge system in utter frustration while trying to set up machinery in his own shop for secondary operations on small parts.

"This setup would be so easy if I didn't have to deal with that stupid fixture," he recalls thinking at the time.
The only purpose for the fixture was to allow the endmill to reach down to the part without hitting the 5C collet nose with the spindle. "Well, I finally got the fixture to work that day, but more important, an idea was born so I wouldn't have to deal with that problem again," he says. "The idea eventually became the Masa small parts cartridge and collet. Then the uses for the adapter went far beyond my original ideas. Soon they were all over the shop—in the tool grinding room, on CNC lathes, CNC mills, as well as in 'second op.' |

What is "Microconic™"?The name "Microconic™" comes from the revolutionary design and sophisticated grinding techniques of our collets.
The Microconic system provides extreme accuracy, high rigidity, and previously unattainable tolerances for workpiece size variance. Each finger of the collet has a separate conical surface that acts to apply the gripping force with superb accuracy. |
