Fabrication & Cutting

ARCH Cutting Tools Corp. announces the acquisition of O-D Tool & Cutter, Inc., a manufacturer of solid carbide and high-speed steel round tools located in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

The improved zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide blending discs also deliver better performance and product life. In addition, the expanded blending disc portfolio provides more connection types, with all of the grain options in the lineup now available in Type S and Type R connections. All the discs are now available with a resin fiber or cloth backing. The resin fiber backing helps reduce the pressure an operator must apply to the disc to maximize the cut rate. It also helps retain the grain on the disc, increasing disc life. The cloth backing offers a more comfortable disc that gives the operator greater control of material removal. The Weiler Abrasives blending disc portfolio also includes a line of aluminum discs that remains unchanged.

National Manufacturing Co., a Piscataway, New Jersey-based provider of specialty deep and shallow drawn stamping, was acquired by Chicago-based CORE Industrial Partners, according to a Tuesday announcement from the company.

Star SU, the marketing, sales and service affiliate of Star Cutter Company, has appointed Bart Trublowski as its new service manager and project coordinator.
