Video highlights special features of the IMCO POW•R•PATH AP5 Series, including a revolutionary 5-flute design for HEM tool paths in aluminum alloys, and a solid core and extra durable coating for maximum tool life. Available with CMS for maximum chip control, the POW•R•PATH AP5 Series also offers high metal removal rates for extreme productivity.

Conventional machining of serrations on turned parts requires a separate process either while milling or broaching. Before either of these finishing processes can take place the parts generally must go through a cleaning process. With Schwanog's broaching tool, manufacturer of serrated turned parts are able to use a completely new approach on a conventional lathe with C-axis, in a single operation, which eliminates the cleaning process.

SCHUNK Electronic Solutions is bringing two depaneling machines with large installation spaces onto the market: the SAR-1300-Mono-Smart and the SAR-1700. The machines mill and saw individual PCBs from a large PCB panel - the maximum panel size is 600 x 500 millimeters.

Regulatory constraints, but also operator well-being, encourage industrials to develop increasingly neutral solutions for the working environment. For many years, CONDAT has been committed to finding healthier products and innovates by offering soluble lubricants based on renewable, boron-free raw materials without formalin, chlorine, DEA, DCHA or silicone releasing agents. More recently, CONDAT distinguished itself with an international automotive sector group by supplying an amine-free, high-performance cutting fluid with a reduced health footprint: POLYBIO 650 ABF.

As the host of the CNC Router Tips podcast, Bill Griggs is well-known in the world of CNC routers, but now he's taken to machining harder materials with his PCNC 1100.

As a leader in compression spiral tooling, LMT Onsrud has expanded its product offering on two of its most popular compression tooling lines: the Polaris and Marathon Compressions.

Rem Sales LLC, Windsor, Connecticut, the exclusive North American importer of Precision Tsugami machine tools, announced that 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the Tsugami and Rem Sales partnership.

The information and communications technology (ICT) and automotive sectors requiring graphite molds for glass end products and graphite electrodes present distinct challenges in terms of surface finish, precision, process reliability and productivity. GF Machining Solutions' high-speed Mikron MILL S 400/500 GRAPHITE and Mikron HSM 500 GRAPHITE are dedicated specifically to graphite machining, helping users master precision over time and meet their customers' expectations for flawless surface quality.

The new GARANT MasterSteel SlotMachine from the Hoffmann Group is a solid-carbide roughing endmill, which achieves high feed rates when slot milling from solid steel. The innovative knuckle form profile produces extremely compact swarf. Therefore, the Hoffmann Group was able to construct the milling cutter with five cutting edges. As a result, at a constant feed rate per tooth the new five-edge end mill achieves 25 percent higher process efficiency than a classic four-edge endmill.
