Cutting Tools

Looking for a way to reduce grinding cycle times and improve cutting tool quality in order to satisfy customer requirements, Myles most recently invested in an ANCA MX7 Linear CNC tool grinder with linear motors. The LinX^® Linear Motor consists of a shaft containing magnets and a forcer containing wound copper coils. The symmetric design results in zero attractive forces between the forcer and shaft, greatly reducing the loading requirement on support bearings. The thermal barrier design separates and removes heat from the motor, eradicating thermal growth for the machine.

iMX series Exchangeable Screw on Head connection features the World's first "Carbide Head"+"Carbide Holder" double face contact connection, according to Mitsubishi Materials' own research on exchangeable head end mills. But the company did not stop there.

Knight Carbide offers precision-ground carbide inserts for standard and custom tooling applications. When standard tooling is no longer available, Knight Carbide will manufacture an "exact" copy as a custom product that will match the "same" performance.

T-Carb 6-Flute High Performance End Mills from SGS are ideal for aggressive high speed machining using Trochoidal and Peel Milling techniques.

In this video, Seco Tools' new Jabro-Solid2 JS452 and 453 end mills demonstrate the flexibility, stability and high performance of the JS450 series of solid carbide tools. The latest JS450 series cutters were released in late 2013 and offer excellent cutting performance for aluminum.

Mil-Tec's High Feed cutter has positive geometry and uses ground carbide inserts that make it ideal for 40-taper CNCs. Using standard NP geometry, the HFC High Feed has high value and is said to be perfect for job shops.

Knight Carbide presents a brief case study via this video that details the use of its MK Dog Cutter to machine slots into a transmission dog gear made of 9310 Stainles Steel.

Although marginally faster tooling options had become available, David Turk at BUCHER Emhart Glass was reluctant to change from a tried-and-true parting off tool. But a new product that tripled productivity finally triggered a switch.
