"The high precision and ease of operation have convinced us from beginning of our inhouse tests."
"When roughing, we could switch over from HSS to Solid Carbide, so machining is up to three times faster."
"When finishing, we can run higher feed speeds and get a better surface finish now."
- Mr. Robert Ott, CEO, Robert Ott AG

"At all applications we have been able to increase tool life and precision."
"The most important benefits of powRgrip® are the good TIR and the high clamping forces that allow to use it flexibly throughout our production."
"A big advantage is also the simple and safe operation... in our three shifts operation."
- Mr. Claude Werder, CEO, Samuel Werder AG

"Today we work using approx. 2000 REGO-FIX Holders. If we had gone for heat shrink, we would have required one separate holder for every diameter."
"By clamping tools with powRgrip® without heat, I can use the tool without delay. This saves us a lot of time and money."
- Mr. Rainer Rosskopf, Group Coordinator / Standard Tools Manufacturing, WALTER AG, Tubingen
