Machining

Kyocera Precision Tool Inc. announced the launch of the MFH Mini, a small-diameter, high-feed endmill for processing metal parts.

JUNKER builds a new platform for cylindrical and non-cylindrical grinding of workpieces with a swing diameter of 470mm and a part length capacity of up to 4,800mm, initially applied for grinding of large crankshafts.

Emuge Corp. offers an expanded line of solid-carbide thread mills in its THREADS-ALL program, to include new 3XD sizes designed for maximum reach.

The DT-1 Drill/Tap center from Haas Automation Inc., is now available with a 20,000-rpm inline direct-drive spindle, giving customers the ability to run higher feed rates for small tools and high-speed machining operations.

Fullerton Tool says its high-performance, solid-carbide 3500 series endmill is very versatile and capable of high-speed machining or full-diameter milling as it is a unique solid-carbide tool that dominates in stainless steels, high-temp alloys and titanium.

The Talking Shop column this month offers a conversation with a fresh "face of manufacturing."

Reduce cycle times when machining hydraulic components. A solid-carbide, through-coolant drill that orients the margins radially.

Eliminate a bottleneck when inspecting parts. Work cells equipped with coordinate measuring machines and dedicated, quick-change fixtures.

While writing his Manager's Desk column for the May 2015 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, Keith Jennings attended a 3-day symposium hosted by a key customer -- a large, growing energy company.

In this month's Machinist's Corner column, Michael Deren discusses his research into robots for one application and noticed other applications that also appeared suitable for automation.

The Machine Technology column looks at how inertia active control cuts cycle time.
