Description
Product Overview
The BIG Tool Master TM-100 is a high-precision Z-Axis Tool Presetter, designed to establish the exact reference height for CNC tooling on machining centers and milling machines.
- Precision Height Reference: This device typically provides a 100mm reference height, allowing operators to quickly and accurately measure tool length offsets (TLO) without damaging the workpiece or the tool tip.
- Magnetic Base: Unlike standard presetters that can slide around on a wet table, the TM-100 features a switchable magnetic base. This allows it to be mounted vertically or horizontally (on a lathe chuck or machine column) with absolute stability.
- Touch-Off Plate: The spring-loaded top contact face protects delicate carbide cutters from chipping during the touching-off process, absorbing the initial contact force while the dial or indicator registers the zero point.
Condition
Used (Good / Calibration Required).
This unit is in overall good cosmetic condition and comes in its original factory box.
- Wear: The top contact plate (the touch-off surface) shows visible marks and scratches from previous shop use. This is common for used presetters.
- Calibration Note: Because this is a precision reference tool that has seen use, we highly recommend calibrating this unit before relying on it for critical tolerances. You should verify the 100mm height using a known gauge block or a master height gauge to ensure the zero point is still dead accurate.
