Machining

To avoid interference with workpiece contours, the lengths of DirectCooling Series holders are ideally matched to one another and offer optimal stability and unlimited flexibility. This flexibility is further enhanced with an HSK-T universal standard interface for turning tools that ensures straightforward connection to multifunction machines such as turning/milling centers and milling/turning centers.

The coating's mechanical post-treatment induces a unique state of residual stress in the layer surface, which in turn increases process security. The DRAGONSKIN grade CTCP425-P with advanced AL2O3-TiN CVD coating is particularly well suited for when uninterrupted cuts are required. It delivers excellent wear resistance even at increased cutting speeds.

KBN020 excels as a 1st choice, general purpose CBN grade with a broad application range from continuous to heavily interrupted machining. Utilizing innovative new layering techniques, Kyocera has developed the MEGACOAT TOUGH coating technology. This coating combines a highly wear-resistant layer on the surface adhered to high-content CBN which is used to toughen up the edge for greater fracture resistance when encountering interruptions.

Mazak Corp.'s Syncrex series now includes 16 models and four machine sizes.

The CBN-tipped mini boring bars feature BX310 uncoated CBN grade that increases the grade's wear resistance when used at low to medium cutting speeds, making it perfect for machining small bores from as small as 2.8 millimeter (.110 inch) diameter of hardened steel parts.

Big Daishowa issued nearly $30,000 in tooling certificates to high schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities through its Tools for Schools program.

Rollomatic Inc., a subsidiary of Rollomatic Holding Switzerland, has appointed Joe Kane as CEO of Rollomatic Inc.

Wohlhaupter, a manufacturer of precision boring tools, received an environmental seal for its commitment to sustainability.

The MD344 Supreme and the MD340 Supreme three-flute versions both feature a 38° helix, while the MD340 Supreme four-flute has a 39°/41° variable helix, the MD340 five-flute version features a differential or unequal pitch.

The M936 maximizes the output of machines most customers use, explained Steve Avers, IMCO's Technical Support Manager. With conventional low-horsepower machines, this free cutting action means the M936 cutter can run to the machine's upper capacity limits.
