Emuge Corp. announced they offer new High Productivity Cutting (HPC) End Mills designed to address a broader range of applications.

Jabro routers from Seco Tools Inc. are for machining composite materials.

Open Mind Technologies AG has released its new optimization strategy for stock roughing titled hyperMAXX.

Single Source Technologies now offers two additional models of NS Tool's MUGEN coated ball endmill series.

ATI Stellram introduces a new chevron-style milling cutter, the Stellram 5230VS12, designed specifically for machining titanium and other difficult to machine materials, such as nickel-based alloys ands cobalt-based alloys.

Niigata's new HN1000-S Horizontal Machining Center from SNK America Inc. is said to be capable of swinging a part up to 2,300mm (90.6") in diameter and 1,850mm (72.8") in height. The HN1000-S rapid traverse rate of 40m/min. (1,575ipm) allows for the reduction in non-cutting time.

Widia has added tool bodies and inserts to its Victory M1200 series for facemilling steel, stainless steel, high-strength steel, cast iron and nonferrous materials.

ATI Stellram has introduced the 7792VXE16 high-feed shell mill cutter for machining titanium and nickel- and cobalt-base alloys.

DZ 12K S MAGNUM five axis from Chiron America Inc. is a double-spindle, highly productive, 5-axis complete machining center with 2-axis tilt rotary table for milling and turning complex workpieces in one set-up.

Shorter cycle times are one way of reducing costs; another way to be more productive actually involves longer cycle times: complete machining in a single setup. Clamping a part only once means reduced costs for fixtures, less time spent on setups for different machines, while improving quality by avoiding reclamping errors.
