Ceratizit has announced that Daniel Campos has joined the company as a Texas-based technical sales engineer, bringing deep knowledge of machining and manufacturing to Ceratizit customers.
Campos’ career spans more than 22 years in the machining industry with experience in vertical, horizontal/live tooling turning, full milling, and 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining. He also has extensive experience in CAD/CAM, ESPRITCAM, MASTERCAM, VeriCut, and SolidWorks.
The company says its customers will benefit from Campos’ broad industrial background that includes the oil & gas industry, automotive, turbomachinery-centrifugal compressors and steam turbine sectors. Campos is versed in 5S and Lean Manufacturing, LINGO Live for Managers, and holds Six Sigma Green Belt and American Management Association certificates.
Campos’ approach with cutting tool customers is focused on learning their processes and understanding their unique challenges.
“I do my best work in the field,” Campos said. “I am dedicated to building relationships with people, understanding where they are and discovering where they want to be. Then, I use my two decades of experience to help get them there.”

- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- lean manufacturing
lean manufacturing
Companywide culture of continuous improvement, waste reduction and minimal inventory as practiced by individuals in every aspect of the business.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
