More efficient broaching
Here are three tips for when you don't have enough time to tool up a new machine or job.
Operation / Process
Machining
HGV Water Plug Machining Tool
The tool's CERATIZIT R84 fine boring indexable inserts feature a brand new reaming geometry specifically designed for exceptional hole finishing. The new positive geometry generates extremely low cutting forces and includes a new chip breaker that improves chip control. All of which allows for higher feed speeds while at the same time producing a better surface quality. Plus, the new inserts provide a much longer tool life as compared to their predecessors.
More efficient machining of 3D-printed metal parts
Using scanning sprays can achieve better detection of the workpiece location.
MP6 Geometry
To cover the widest possible range of applications, Walter offers the MP6 geometry in CCMT, DCMT, TCMT and VBMT basic shapes. Its short protective chamfer, which is characteristic of roughing inserts, ensures a high strength of cutting edge, even in challenging conditions, for example when machining forged parts or components with interrupted cuts. The 18° positive rake angle ensures excellent chip control during medium machining.
AddMultiTurn – Front turning, back turning, profiling, and face turning with ONE SINGLE TOOL
AddMultiTurn – Front turning, back turning, profiling, and face turning with ONE SINGLE TOOL. Tungaloy's 6-corner inserts with the company's ultra-secure Y-PRISM clamping design for high versatility, economy, and productivity. Available in 80° or 35° corner angle.
Compact cleaner fights oily residue
The EcoCcompact offers large batch-cleaning capacity in a small footprint.n
Thread without dread
Putting screw threads in titanium poses special challenges but none that you can't meet.
Will switching to carbide help?
When battling ID grinding issues, The Grinding Doc explains why a carbide quill isn't always the best fix.
AH6235 and AH8005 TungCut Inserts
Together with successful AH7025 grade for first choice, AH6235 and AH8005 grades will enhance TungCut performances in parting and grooving operations with interruptions, as well as grooving and turning operations with aggressive conditions.
KenTIP FS Modular Drill Platform
Using the 140-degree solid carbide point design from Kennametal's GOdrill, the KenTIP FS GTP insert allows for multiple machining applications across a range of materials including steel, stainless steel and cast iron. KenTIP FS GTP also features excellent centering capabilities, even at moderate cutting parameters, and low-axial forces.
