Turning

A line of quick-release clamp collars offered in three designs that provide clamping options by hand without tools for a wide range of applications have been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Dillon Manufacturing full-grip pie jaws made of 1018 CR steel are now available in diameters from 6 to 15 inches, with heights of 2, 4 and 6 inches. Constructed of 1018 CRS, these heat-treatable and weldable steel jaws allow for complete gripping of the workpiece to maintain accuracy.

Collecting mist from lubricant oils used to cool machining processes is critical to protect workers' health and meet OSHA requirements. The Handte Oil Expert from Camfil APC helps facility operators reduce exhaust emissions to meet the current OSHA 5.0 mg/m3 exposure limit for oil mist.

Seco Tools has introduced Jetstream Tooling high-pressure coolant technology for threading shank holders. The new range includes shank holders for external applications, boring bars for internal applications and GL-heads for use with Seco Steadyline boring bars.

The CoroThread 266 thread turning tool from Sandvik Coromant is available with precision over- and under-coolant to improve process security and maximize efficiency. The addition of over-coolant improves chip formation for more secure machining, while under-coolant controls temperature for long and predictable tool life. Precision coolant also has positive effects on surface finish, supporting the generation of high-quality threads.

Vertical turning lathes have a significant drawback: the chips fall onto the workpiece where they are subject to recutting. By inverting the spindle, chip problems are virtually eliminated.

Walter has introduced two new insert grades in its Perform Line of turning tools, the WPV10 and WPV20. These versatile, cost-effective inserts are suitable for users whose machines are limited in cutting parameters due to their stability and performance, and who need a versatile insert that can handle different materials, as well as for those who machine small or medium batch sizes.

Hard to find, OEM quality replacement CO2 optics for legacy Coherent lasers that are in-stock for 24-shipment are being introduced by Laser Research Optics.

Sandvik Coromant has unveiled a new blade for its CoroCut QD parting-off system, which in combination with new process methodology, substantially improves the tool's stability by realigning the resultant cutting force. Among numerous benefits available to the customer are improved productivity, enhanced surface quality, and reduced noise levels.

New from Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc., AC8000P Series Grades for steel turning features advanced Absotech Platinum CVD Coating for a longer tool life and an overall cost reduction in steel cutting. For exceptional performance, the AC8000P series consists of this patented CVD coating, a new surface layer and a smooth surface treatment from the crystal orientation process.
