Nub Tools
Advanced Tools and Manufacturing Solutions
David Irving founder of Nub Tools has a long history working with metal. His love of motorcycles and especially Harley Davidson Motorcycles let his imagination run wild while making handmade custom parts for projects. Sometimes when you see a need that is not met, it is your job to find a solution. David’s creation of the Harley Valve Spring Compressor was that problem solver for motorcycle fabricators worldwide. It was such an innovation that in 2008 it debuted on The Speed Channel and was soon voted one of the top new inventions at the 2008 V-Twin Expo.
The momentum of success was in motion and that led David’s focus to turn towards problems in CNC machining. Specifically problems with the CNC Collet Chuck. Most machinists need to manufacture parts that are large and need soft jaws for work holding. In addition on the same machine they also need to run small diameter parts which require collets to hold the part in place. It was a time consuming as well as costly problem that needed to be solved. Just like his cleverness created the Harley Valve Spring, his focus was now on creating the original CNC Collet Chuck invention. Nub Tools CNC Collet Chuck solution is sold exclusively by Penn Tool Co. and we highly support David Irving with any metalworking solutions he can dream up. Machines shops and motorcycle fabricators can rejoice. Nub Tools has the solution!
The Nub Tools' CNC Collet Chuck System converts your three jaw power chuck into a precision collet chuck. In less than five minutes you can be making parts with collets and never have to remove your chuck. The most productive and cost effective collet nose alternative out there. It very well may be the best thing since sliced bread. Does spending thousands of dollars and taking that chuck off your lathe not make a lot of sense for you? It didn't for me either. This solved the problem of having to go back and forth using soft jaws and collets. What used to take so much time and came with a high risk of improper chuck installation after switching over has now gone away. -Available in 5C and 16C versions -Available for 6 ,8, 10, and 12 inch Chucks Key Features: -Allows Bar pull and Bar feed operations -Allows collet work stops on the back side -Fast collet change out: You only need to remove one jaw to access the collet set screw.
