Juan from Tsugami America machines a spark plug with Tungaloy-NTK America. See how Tungaloy's ModuMiniTurn modular head quick-change tooling system, along with cutting tools from Tungaloy and NTK Cutting Tools, used in the Tsugami S206 II Swiss CNC machine can increase your miniature machining productivity. Juan shares his story of rising through the machining industry—from janitor to applications engineer—while programming and guiding us through the demo alongside Jeff from Tungaloy-NTK America. Featured tools include the ModuMiniTurn (quick-change modular head system), TungMeister (interchangeable-head endmill), TetraMiniCut, Tungaloy's AH7025 turning insert, and NTK's TMV chipbreaker.

Iscar expands the already tremendous flexibility of the Multi-Master system with NEW Solid Carbide Heads for Aluminum. Designed primarily for roughing and finishing in the aerospace industry, these new heads expand MULTI-MASTER's capabilities in milling soft materials. The new additions include ballnose, shouldering and advanced profiling geometries in sizes ranging from .3125" to 1.250" diameters. There are a variety of popular radius options to choose from, as well. The strategic combination of diverse Multi-Master shank geometries and materials enhances tool dynamics, ensuring stable cutting across various milling applications.
