With a new re-engineered design, the Seco Perfomax indexable insert drill delivers higher drilling parameters and longer tool life as well as exceptional chip control and evacuation.

Watch the video and tour the John Force Racing shop to see how the machinists make parts for this legendary NHRA team using Hurco CNC technology.

At EMAG, Modular Solutions means a multiple-technology machine concept on a unified basic platform. All the machines in the EMAG Modular Solutions series have the same machine base made out of Mineralit polymer concrete, essentially a chassis on which the rest of the machine is installed.

Management Suite is ANCA's new software that enables its customers to run a smart factory. The software suite is capable of monitoring the operational performance of machines and providing live production machine data to achieve premium grinding efficiencies in or out of the office.

OSG USA Inc., Glendale Heights, Ill., recognized the recipients of its inaugural "Shaping Your Dreams" scholarship program, which was created to assist students in fulfilling their educational goals in the fields of machining, manufacturing and engineering.

Walter has introduced its ISO H Advance Line of solid-carbide milling cutters, consisting of seven new cutter families specially tailored to the requirements of hard machining (up to 63 HRC). These new cutters include mini and multi-flute, shoulder/slot, ball-nose and high-feed milling cutters, which cover the full range of solid-carbide milling.

Shaping Success Together is Vollmer's motto at the international trade fair GrindTec 2018 in Augsburg, Germany. The specialist in grinding and eroding machines has further developed both technologies and services for its sharpening and machine tools in close communication with customers and partners.

The application fields of part cleaning processes using aqueous media range from coarse through intermediate to fine and ultrafine cleaning. Before an investment in suitable cleaning equipment is made, key questions regarding cleaning quality, throughput, cycle times, process stability and cost efficiency must be answered.

In connection with the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration of Hurco Cos. scheduled for March 6 at the machine tool builder's corporate headquarters in Indianapolis, I spoke with Michael Cope, the company's product technical specialist.

Kurt has launched the DX4 CrossOver Vise, a reduced size version of its successful DX6 CrossOver vise. Similarly designed to provide workholding strength and performance where flatness and parallelism are critical, this DX4 CrossOver vise answers machinists' needs for smaller workholding.

The CoroThread 266 thread turning tool from Sandvik Coromant is available with precision over- and under-coolant to improve process security and maximize efficiency. The addition of over-coolant improves chip formation for more secure machining, while under-coolant controls temperature for long and predictable tool life.

The precision and ruggedness of BIG KAISER boring heads deliver measurable performance advantages, significantly reducing finishing cost and cycle time. This is proven through the development of the EWE digital boring head.
