The JBS flexible guide bush system is the ideal solution for running inconsistent bar stock on a sliding head lathe. Such material would normally seize in a traditional guide bush but the JBS system with its automatic adjustment allows inconsistent material to pass through without problems. The clamping is controlled via M-codes from the CNC program, and the clamping force is easily adjusted via pneumatic valves. The unit suits all manner of materials and provides maximum stability for both turning and milling applications.
