Milling

After introducing their own award winning D5 last year (winner of the Red Dot Award for Best Industrial Design), DATRON Dynamics is now a North American demonstration and training facility for Imetric North America.

Walter USA LLC has introduced the Walter Valenite F4050 cartridge type cutter, an innovative new approach to the challenges of high-speed milling of non-ferrous materials.

MAG's modular HMC 1250/1600 Series is engineered for high-precision, high-productivity machining of large aerospace, power generation, pump, valve, and off-road equipment parts.

Successful high-feed milling is characterized as using small depths of cut at high federates per tooth, with the result being higher metal-removal rates and increased productivity. As opposed to traditional milling, high-feed milling generates lower radial cutting forces, making it an attractive concept for roughing, copy milling, profile milling, and other applications necessitating quick removal of metal, even where longer reach is required.

MC Machinery Systems Inc. expands its product supply chain with the new MC Milling line.

The Shop Operations column in the December 2011 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine offers some tips when sawing metal.

Thinking about taking the leap into milling hardened steels? Why would you? After all, if your shop has been successfully grinding, jig boring and EDMing hardened materials, why change?

Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc. has added the WFX Series to its family of shoulder milling cutters.

Walter USA LLC has introduced the Walter Prototyp Proto-max Ultra ball-nose end mill, specially engineered for efficient machining of hard materials.

Mori Seiki has started taking orders for the ULTRASONIC 65 monoBLOCK equipped with ultrasonic machining functions and the LASERTEC 65 Shape equipped with laser machining functions.

Rollomatic has extended its product portfolio to include a 6-axis grinding machine that, thanks to an integrated grinding wheel changer, is not only ultra-precise, but also works quickly, efficiently and autonomously.

New Mini-Feed cutters and inserts, part of Dapra Corp.'s high-feed RHINO-FEED line, reportedly allow for feed rates up to five times faster than normal in light-DOC applications.
