JPT "CNC Taper Bore Motion Tool with Micron Adjustment" for Machining Tapered Holes in Knuckles.

JPT has designed and manufactured tooling for Steering Knuckles since the late 1970's.

Our specialty application experience covers many, many different types of parts, machining processes and associated materials that require exacting tolerances.

Steering Knuckles are a PRIME FOCUS of JPT.

During this time JPT has established a great library of application knowledge...
Including (10) Steering Knuckle part prints in the past two years alone.

JPT has engineered and manufactured many different Steering Knuckle tooling projects and there associated differing processes;

  • CNC Machines.
  • Special dedicated "Dial" and "Transfer" Style high production machines.

As a result of this, JPT has developed a myriad of different type tools for highly successful machining processes.

Including an indexable insert-style "JPT Boring System" and the "JPT Taper Bore Micro Adjustable Motion Tool" and the "JPT CNC Taper Bore Micro Adjustable Motion Tool" that provides extremely high quality workpieces and tool life on tapered holes. See the Product Features and Capabilities section below for specifics.
