Machining center processes parts from roughing to finishing in a single setup
The HU63A-5XT 5-axis horizontal machining center from Mitsui Seiki USA is a high-precision millturn system that provides aerospace manufacturers with accurate milling and turning capabilities for complete part processing from roughing to finishing in a single setup. The company says that this “virtually” ensures that even the most complex components are machined to spec the first time around.
MSC Industrial Supply showcases end-to-end metalworking expertise
At IMTS 2026, MSC Industrial Supply Co. will highlight how it supports manufacturers through metalworking products, inventory management solutions, production fasteners, hardware and on-site technical expertise. MSC will feature real-world customer applications, live demonstrations, and metalworking specialists available to discuss machining performance, process optimization, and operational efficiency.
Turning in a New Design
Here’s how a new part design became the “hub” of future victory for students working on the Formula SAE car project at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania. The year was 2013 and our Formula SAE car team had just returned from a successful run at their competition, albeit with some scorching critiques from the design judges.
Material Matters: Reducing Carbide Use as Tungsten Prices Rise
As the cost of tungsten rapidly rises, cutting tool manufacturers focus on developing inserts that reduce carbide consumption while boosting productivity. By Alan Richter Like so many other commodities, the price of tungsten ammonium paratungstate (APT), which is used to make carbide cutting tools, has moved in only one direction: up — way up.
The Bedrock of Precision Success
The workholding basics for CNC machining. By Erez Speiser The best CNC machines and cutting tools are only as effective as the workholding system used to secure a workpiece to the table during the machining process. The foundation of successful precision machining begins with the selection of the proper workholding system for the workpiece and machining operation at hand.
How Better Workholding Cuts Hidden Costs and Boosts Spindle Uptime
The bedrock of success How Better Workholding Cuts Hidden Costs and Boosts Spindle Uptime. By Austin Heisick In many machining environments, workholding is still evaluated using narrow criteria: can the workholding securely hold the part, and how much does it cost? While ensuring adequate clamping force is critical, this perspective overlooks the broader role workholding plays in CNC machining.
