Productive Tooling System for Socket Machining

NTK's Shaper Duo tools are effective alternatives to traditional approaches for socket machining, such as end milling and rotary broaching. The insert bars generate less tool pressure than broach methods, and cycle time is greatly reduced due to an efficient machining process. The system generates better socket tolerance and corner edge sharpness. The tooling is designed for positioning in the back spindle of Swiss machines.

ISCAR's new Penta 17 line now for Swiss and Miniature Machining

Iscar's latest addition in the PENTA series introduces a new 5-cornered insert for machining miniature parts. The unique shape and design of the insert rekindles this legacy insert by opening new frontiers for additional applications. Standard inserts now available in a wide range of widths from 0.010" – 0.125", with different edge configurations for parting, grooving, back-turning, side-turning, profiling and threading. The insert and toolholders enable the machining of miniature parts with right and left capabilities next to the shoulder of the workpiece.

Student wins $15,000 for 3D-printed steel tool that cuts titanium

A Ph.D. candidate from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, has been awarded a $15,000 prize for developing a 3D-printed steel tool capable of cutting titanium alloys as well as—if not better than—traditionally manufactured steel tools. The achievement marks a first and could pave the way for increased applications of 3D printing in tool production.
