Kennametal announced its new Mill 4-12KT, the next generation of tangential shoulder mills, producing high quality floor surface finishes for nearly all steel and cast iron applications.

High Dynamic Turning, or HDT for short, from Ceratizit has turned conventional turning methods completely upside down. This new turning technology combined with the dynamic FreeTurn tooling, means that in the future it will be possible to carry out all traditional turning operations such as roughing, finishing, contour turning, face turning and longitudinal turning with just one tool.

The versatile Pramet ISBN10 cutters are suitable for high-feed milling, copy milling, ramping, helical interpolation, slotting and plunging. The unique pocket design in combination with the ANHX10 insert also perform shoulder and facemilling, offering a complete package for mold and die applications, from roughing to finishing.

Tungaloy expands its TungMeister series of interchangeable milling head system, to include 4-flute cutter heads with high-feed capability.

Tungaloy introduces CeramicSpeedMill for efficient milling of heat-resistant superalloys (HRSAs).

BallRoughNose is the latest development in Tungaloy's indexable milling technology for efficient and reliable rough profiling of curved surfaces.

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.

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.

The new cutter ensures high productivity and economy

A new pipe beveling tool with an operating range from 4.5" ID to 24" OD that requires only one mandrel and 10 clamps for the entire range of the tool has been introduced by Esco Tool.

Technology has not removed the need to master calculations.

HEIDENHAIN announces the new Positip 8016 digital readout (DRO) with touch screen for manual machine tool applications. With its sturdy machined aluminum housing, this DRO promises to add reliability and ease-of-use to its milling, drilling, boring and turning jobs.
