  Masa Tool created the The Microconic™ workholding system which is a mechanically actuated micro-workholding system for use in high precision, small diameter CNC turning applications. Masa Tool 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 transforms the work spindle for miniature workholding, and the “right-sized” Microconic collet, which fits in the cartridge. - Unsurpassed concentricity, typically 3 microns (.0001") and guaranteed to be within 5 microns (0.0002") in production use. - Works with either draw-type or push-type standard collet systems that are in any machine. Using the MASA Microconic™ System allows Machining Creativity more than ever before.
