Chemtool Inc. announces Lubricut 4284, the newest in its line of high-performance metalworking fluids. Lubricut 4284 is a synthetic coolant, specially formulated for machining and grinding aluminum (and other ferrous and nonferrous alloys).

Emuge Corp. has introduced an advanced line of endmills featuring unique geometry designed specifically for the high-performance machining of turbine and bladed components. New Emuge Turbine End Mills offer unprecedented cycle time reductions and long tool life in challenging forms and materials, including titanium, nickel alloys, aluminum alloys and more.

Shops with lower horsepower machines can maximize their facemilling operations with the new Seco Tools Double Quattromill14 facemilling cutter. For cost effectiveness and increased depths of cut in roughing, semifinishing and finishing, the cutter uses double-sided inserts with eight cutting edges and represents a smaller version of the company's Double Quattromill 22 cutter, which targets those machines with higher horsepower and torque.

Waukegan, IL - LMT Tools is announcing that Mark Ware has been promoted to Milling and Tapping Application Specialist for LMT Tools.

Open Mind Technologies has introduced hyperMILL 2019.1, a new version of its advanced, comprehensive CAD/CAM software suite. hyperMILL 2019.1 has a range of new features and enhancements including an expanded Finishing Module in the hyperMILL MAXX Machining Performance Package, process optimizations such as a new thread milling module, a new function for reducing calculation times, tool database flexibility, and CAD optimization.

Walter has introduced its next generation of milling tools: the Xtra·tec XT (Xtended Technology). Designed to achieve increased productivity and process reliability, this new generation of milling cutters is being launched with initial offerings of shoulder milling cutters and a facemilling cutter.

A metal blisk or heat exchanger component can certainly be aesthetically pleasing, but those and the vast majority of other machined metal parts serve a practical function first and foremost. The metal parts Chris Bathgate machines don't.

Moore Nanotechnology Systems ("Nanotech") has released its next generation NanoCAM4 software package with enhanced capabilities. Nanotech's latest product release has been years in the making. Comprehensive, yet easy to use, NanoCAM4 (N4) brings a significantly high level of accuracy and programming functionality to the ultraprecision optical market.

To boost the first-stage roughing operation on newly cast aluminum parts for the automotive industry, cutting tool and tooling systems specialist Sandvik Coromant is introducing its M5Q90 tangential milling cutter.

Almost every machine shop uses facemills for roughing, semifinishing and finishing, but many of these shops miss out on increased material-removal rates because they run yesterday's tooling on today's machine tools.

Expand existing capacity or turn down orders? Many companies are caught in this dilemma. Every time a company turns down an order, it risks losing that customer and potential orders. If the company has no alternative but to accept new orders, at some point the existing machines will reach their limits. What then?

Designed for machining thin-walled aluminum automotive parts without burring, scratching or chipping, the patent-pending M5F90 facemilling cutter is being released by Sandvik Coromant. The two-in-one M5F90 cutter features an design that allows roughing and finishing in a single operation, delivering shorter and more efficient machining strategies.
