Ti-Coating announces its new PVD coating Tinalox SN2 for indexable carbide tooling.

The CoroMill QD groove milling tools from Sandvik Coromant Co. are available with Silent Tools adapters for long-overhang machining. The through-coolant grooving and parting tools accept inserts with optimized geometries to effectively evacuate chips.

Iscar Metals Inc. offers the MultiMaster endmills as a complement to its solid-carbide endmill family. A new cutter can be assembled by selecting a milling head, which carries inserts with the required shank diameter, length and shape.

Dedicated for groove milling and parting off operations, CoroMill QD from Sandvik Coromant takes care of chip issues with optimized geometries and a unique internal coolant solution.

Emuge Corp. introduced a new solid-carbide Turbine end mills program for milling turbine blades, impellers, blisks and other complex 5-Axis components.

Greenleaf Corp. says its Index-O-Cut high-performance milling system is suitable for machining all materials because of its high-shear cutting action and a 45° lead angle on the octagon-style insert.

Kyocera Precision Tools Inc. unveiled its new MFK indexable milling cutter for cast iron, a milling system that will allow machinists to reduce costs and improve their milling operations through the use of double-sided, 10-edge negative inserts.

InovaTools offers TSC tools that have been optimally adapted in terms of substrate, geometry and chip clearance for various materials, such as special alloys, hardened steel, tempering steel, INOX, general construction steel, aluminum and plastic.

NCG CAM Solutions Ltd. UK officially released NCG CAM v14 on 23 March 2015.

Seco Tools LLC offers the Square T4-08 shoulder mill for roughing and semifinishing. The tool has four cutting edges and a tangential cutter design that imparts a fine surface finish when slotting, contouring and plunging, according to the company.

Accurately machine EDM electrodes used to produce micromolds for medical parts. A high-speed, high-precision, 3-axis micro milling machine.

When an endmill efficiently makes chips, everybody is happy: the end user, the parts buyer, and the cutting tool manufacturer and distributor. Achieving that by having the tool follow the correct toolpaths and run at productivity-boosting parameters, however, requires an endmill with optimized geometry, substrate and coating.
