In 3 weeks I'm hoping to take delivery of my first "real" vmc. Most of my endmills are Helical. I plan to pick up some YG1 as I've read good things about them. I do have to destiny as well.
Most of my tool holders are coming from Maritool. Any gauge length works for what I need it to do, so most have been around the 2.35-2.75". 95% of the material I cut is alum. ER32 is mostly what I got with a few ER16 and set screw holders. I'll have to grind a flat on my tooling for set screw. I didn't have to do this on my own machine because, didn't have a lot of power
I've been curious and looking at hydraulic for the purpose of roughing out material as fast as I can. YG1 is pretty attractive for a 3/8 holder at $259. I wish I could afford Shunk or BK. My tool rep mention ETP but haven't found much information on them.
Does anyone have experience with the YG1 hydraulic tool holders?
