Intended for tradespeople within the high-volume commodity drill market, the company said the new FCP4 High Production Drill Grinder can produce drills from 0.8mm to 4.0mm.

Defining Truing Parameters: Parts One, Two & Three

Watch Cutting Tool Engineering's special three-part video report that follows along as Rush Machinery and Jeffrey Badger, Ph.D., a.k.a. the Grinding Doc, collaborate to establish scientific truing parameters. The report encompasses episodes 83, 84 and 85 of CTE's Grinding Doc video series.

EDGe-Spark Erosion Power Generator

ANCA’s EDGe-Spark erosion power generator controls the energy level of the eroding spark for optimal surface finish, material removal and cycle time. It also enables a double-ended HSK wheel spindle for eroding PCD and grinding carbide and HSS.

JUCAM 1S Noncylindrical Grinding Machine

As increasingly stringent carbon emissions regulations are being imposed on the automotive industry, one solution to ensure compliance with these regulations is with variable engine timing using cam pieces. The JUCAM 1S from JUNKER specializes in the ultraprecise, efficient grinding of cam pieces.

Episode 85: Defining truing parameters, part three

Thanks to a collaboration between Dr. Jeffrey Badger and Rush Machinery in Rushville, N.Y., shops now have some practical guidelines when it comes to truing parameters. Badger shares some of this new-found advice in 85th episode of Cutting Tool Engineering's Grinding Doc video series.
