Lyndex-Nikken and HWR Workholding USA provided video reports highlighting their zero-point clamping systems. These videos are presented as a supplement to the "Zero is the Point" feature article in Cutting Tool Engineering's August 2025 issue.

Join Brian Butler, Regional Sales Manager at Lang Technik USA, for a walkthrough of their powerful workholding and automation solutions at MT Series East 2025. From their original Quick•Point® 52/96 zero-point system to the versatile RoboTrex automation cell, Lang demonstrates how shops of all sizes can boost repeatability, reduce changeover time, and achieve 16+ hours of unattended machining.

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.
