Unlock Precision in Swiss-Style Machining with GenSwiss Ti‑Loc Endmill Extensions

When it comes to micro machining, precision isn’t just a goal—it’s a requirement. That’s why GenSwiss developed the Ti‑Loc Endmill Extensions, part of their Signature Series of high-performance tooling engineered specifically for Swiss-type lathes and compact CNC platforms.


What Is Ti‑Loc?


The Ti‑Loc is a taper-integrated one-piece extension holder that simplifies setups, improves rigidity, and enhances tool accuracy. Unlike traditional collet extensions that add layers of potential misalignment, Ti‑Loc integrates directly with the ER taper—resulting in a more rigid, reliable, and precise connection.


Key Benefits of Ti‑Loc Endmill Extensions

Ultra-High Accuracy
Ti‑Loc holders maintain
TIR (Total Indicator Runout) under 0.0002"—even when fully extended—ensuring tight tolerances and perfect tool path control in high-precision applications.

 One-Piece Design for Superior Rigidity
Fewer components mean less tolerance stacking. The solid construction reduces vibration and deflection, extending tool life and improving surface finish on micro parts.

Quick & Easy Installation
These holders snap directly into standard ER collet nuts—no custom hardware or special tightening tools required. Spend less time setting up and more time cutting.

Coolant-Through Capability
Certain models (like ER16) are available with coolant-through functionality, providing enhanced chip evacuation and improved cooling at the cutting zone.

Flexible Range of Sizes
Available in
ER8 to ER25 configurations, Ti‑Loc extensions are adaptable to a wide range of micro tooling needs—including endmills, drills, and slitting saws.


Why Choose Ti‑Loc?


The GenSwiss Ti‑Loc system is purpose-built for demanding environments such as medical, aerospace, electronics, and precision automotive machining. Whether you're cutting titanium bone screws or miniature aerospace fasteners, Ti‑Loc empowers machinists to push further—literally—with minimal runout and rock-solid consistency.


Applications

  • Micro endmilling in hard-to-reach areas
  • Extended-reach slitting operations
  • Deep pocket and cavity finishing
  • High-precision Swiss-style turning centers
  • Medical, aerospace, and high-tech part production

Hex Shank Drill Bits: Improving Torque Transfer in Modern Hand Tools

Experienced operators know machining instability rarely starts at the cutting edge. It starts in the sump. Foam creeping into high-pressure lines. Heat building at the tool interface. Bacteria breaking down fluid integrity. Corrosion forming where it shouldn’t. When coolant chemistry falls out of balance, performance doesn’t collapse all at once — it slowly drifts. Tool life shortens. Surface finish changes. Operators compensate. Downtime increases. Cooling lubricants must simultaneously remove heat, provide boundary and extreme-pressure lubrication, flush chips, resist microbiological growth, prevent corrosion, control foam, and remain stable in both hard and soft water conditions. Cadillac Oil’s Microcool line is engineered to maintain that balance across materials, duty levels, and machine conditions. The Three Microcool Technologies Synthetic: - High thermal and oxidation stability - Rapid heat dissipation - Oil-rejecting, clean-running chemistry - Low misting and reduced smoke - Enhanced wetting agents for reduced carry-out - Transparent formulation for operator visibility Semi-Synthetic: - Balanced extreme pressure and boundary lubrication - Strong detergency and surface finish capability - Defoaming performance for low and high pressure systems - Extended sump life with microbiological protection - Stable in varying water hardness Soluble Oil: - Premium base oils with advanced emulsion packages - High lubricity for demanding applications - Bio-resistant components for sump longevity - Excellent corrosion protection - Stable emulsions in hard and soft water Why the Chemistry Matters Modern CNC systems operate at higher spindle speeds, feed rates, and often high-pressure coolant delivery. Coolant must maintain film strength under load, prevent thermal shock, control aeration, resist microbial breakdown, and maintain emulsion stability across water conditions. If any of those fail, the result is reduced tool life, inconsistent finishes, and reactive maintenance. Microcool fluids are formulated to maintain stability under those variables across extended production cycles. Industry Applications Automotive Manufacturing – Controls heat and foam under aggressive feeds and continuous production. Aerospace – Supports heat management and corrosion protection for tight-tolerance alloys. General & Heavy Industry – Maintains stability across mixed substrates and variable water quality. The Result With Microcool: - Tool life extends under load - Surface finishes remain consistent - Sump life increases - Waste streams decrease - Machines run cleaner Cutting tools remove material. Coolant chemistry protects the process.  Learn How Cadillac Oil Co. can optimise your machining
