Schaumburg, IL – June 10, 2011 – Kitagawa-NorthTech, Inc. proudly announces the addition of Chuck Grease Pro to their supplemental chuck offerings. Generating heightened performance, Chuck Grease Pro retains 20% more grip force over the course of 8 hours as compared to Chuck-EEZ grease. Shops utilizing general purpose grease rather than Chuck Grease Pro can experience up to 50% grip force loss, a 3x reduction in chuck life and heightened safety risks. Chuck Grease Pro is also aesthetically preferable due to its translucent white color that will reduce negative appearance results on machines and parts, unlike general black grease.
Todd Peterson, Owner and President of Peterson Machining, Inc. in Boulder, Colorado, states,”High praise to Kitagawa Chuck Grease Pro! In the 21 plus years of running lathes, I have never used a better product. First and foremost, the white color and not having black grease all over my parts and machines initially got me started on seeking out the product. I found myself greasing the chuck more frequently because I did not have to be concerned about the mess and having to take extra steps to clean the parts. After using the grease for a few months now, I have learned of the additional benefits. There is less internal chuck stiction. The chuck pressure clamping force is higher with a lower hydraulic pressure setting. What an outstanding product. I am definitely a fan and will use nothing else in our lathes.”
