With our March issue overflowing with content, we included teasers in the Table of Contents for online access to the Lead Angle and Industry News section.

The ultimate goal of tool-monitoring technologies is to help shops keep their machine tool doors closed longer — because open doors let the money out.

Aluminum's malleability makes it a go-to material for many machining applications, but that same quality also presents a challenge — burr formation.

Debut Software Savvy column urges industry leaders to look for tell-tale signs that it's time to modernize their software portfolios to remain competitive.

Poor tool life and problems with chip control and surface finishes can be particularly consequential for medical manufacturers.

CTE Editor-at-Large Alan Richter is on the show floor in Taipei, checking out the latest machining innovations. At @eCERATIZIT ‘s booth, he’s taking a look at the HDT FreeTurn—built for high-speed roughing, turning, and grooving with precision and minimal vibration.

The flat machining of bi‐metal surfaces or milling applications involving an interrupted cut can present challenges to PCD or carbide milling cutters. Inserts may chip during the milling process, resulting in high machining costs & elevated levels of sub‐standard or rejected parts.

Much like professional hockey with its power, speed, and grace, so too were some of technologies, techniques, and even milled items showcased at the OPEN MIND Technologies booth at IMTS 2024.

Saint-Gobain Abrasives has released the newest generation of Norton Abrasive's Paradigm wheels for the cutting tool market that feature a new high-performance grain for higher material removal rates, improved wheel life, better finishes, and reduced overall cost per part.

Putting a 1" diameter axle in the rear wheel of a Harley motorcycle required a custom rear brake caliper bracket and custom fixturing to make the bracket.
