Walter has introduced its next generation of milling tools: the Xtra·tec® XT (XT stands for "Xtended Technology"). Designed to achieve increased productivity and process reliability, this new generation of milling cutters is being launched with initial offerings of shoulder milling cutters and a face milling cutter. The mills cover virtually all requirements in shoulder and slot milling for all common material groups.
What do you do when you have a 0.688" diameter drill and you need a 0.697" diameter hole? This sort of question is common in shops that have a limited selection of cutting tools. Kyocera's DRV Magic Drill series can accomplish a radial offset to drill larger than the existing tool. The 0.697" hole shown was drilled in 1018 steel with a S100-DRV0688-5-05. Inserts were SCMT060205XMECA520D and SCMT060210XMIPR1535. Speeds and feeds used were 390 SFM, F.0016 IPR. The surface finish is very good due to excellent chip evacuation.

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 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.
Nachi’s new End Mill Series will improve your tooling cost and reduce cycle time while offering high performance machining on a wide range of materials. From cast iron, carbon steel and alloy steel, to titanium, 300/400 series stainless steels and high temperature alloys. The new design features an Aqua Mill Nano-layer coating for high heat and wear resistance, and will allow faster feed rates and better surface finishes.
