The unique shape of Palmgren's electric hand grinders provide exceptional control with less operator fatigue.

Emuge Corp. has introduced advanced Threads-all ZGF-S-Cut solid-carbide thread mills featuring multiple teeth, a helical flute form and multiple-layer TiAlN T46 coating. The new ZGF-S-Cut thread mills increase tool life over 10 times more than conventional tools and produce precise threads in exotic materials including Inconels, nickel-based superalloys, monel, titanium, 420 stainless steel and more.

Columbia Marking Tools Inc. has pioneered the application development of many of the marking processes used in manufacturing today, including enhanced versions of dot-peen marking, low-stress dot-peen marking, impact marking, roll marking, laser marking and now scribe marking.

The introduction of a specific 5-axis tilt control strategy, combined with a barrel cutter, is said to be the most significant enhancement in the latest release of EDGECAM, from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence's Production Software division.

HCL Technologies announced the release of CAMWorks Version 2019, which includes Additive Manufacturing, Tolerance-Based Machining (TBM) for turn and mill/turn parts, and improvements to Technology Database (TechDB).

GF Machining Solutions announces the availability of its AgieCharmilles CUT C 350 and CUT C 600 wire EDMs for U.S. manufacturers that want high performance with low operating costs. At a $99,000 starting price point, the machines are not only cost-effective, but also provide optimized cutting speeds and reliable accuracy, while their AC CUT HMI 2 systems make for easy programming through efficient EDM expert modules.

Make deep-hole operations productive and reduce the risk of scrapping large, expensive workpieces with the new GL threading and grooving heads for Steadyline ø1" (25 mm)-diameter turning and boring bars from Seco Tools. The new heads extend the range of GL Heads and Steadyline bars, increase production accuracy, improve surface finishes and reduce downtime from insert indexing and head changing.

CGTech has introduced additive manufacturing enhancements to be released in VERICUT Version 9.0. VERICUT CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software simulates all types of CNC machining, additive and hybrid manufacturing processes. The software operates independently, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems.

In part one of this report, the Grinding Doc acknowledges how maddening dressing can be when diamonds wear away and develop larger and larger flat areas.

The marketing folks at Fritz Studer AG, Thun, Switzerland, understand the importance of having a distinctive, eye-catching location for introducing grinding machines. In March, they selected the Hagerbach Test Gallery in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland to host the Studer Press Event 2019.

The new cutter ensures high productivity and economy
