Cutting Tools & Tooling

Look Ahead: Researchers find sticky solution to an old problem.

ARCH Cutting Tools is pleased to announce and welcome Bill Orris as Manager of Technical Product and Sales Training.

The H330 Series is engineered exclusively for high-speed milling of Aluminum applications.

Electric mobility is becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry. The number of electrically powered vehicles produced is increasing. MAPAL already offers a wide range of innovative machining solutions for the manufacture of individual parts and components that are machined.

Sandvik Coromant is releasing three new grades for its popular CoroDrill 870 exchangeable-tip drill. GC4344, GC3334 and GC2334 have been developed to offer significant tool life improvements and more predictable wear patterns, all while maintaining the high penetration rates and productivity for which the concept is renowned.

Allied Machine & Engineering adds three new Criterion boring kits to its line-up. The kit selection includes a kit for 1.00" cylindrical shank, a kit for R8 shank and a kit for #4 Morse taper shank.

The DA110 Perform drill from Walter can be used universally and cost-effectively for a wide range of materials. It delivers maximum accuracy thanks to its precision-ground surfaces and a tip geometry that has been engineered for optimum centering accuracy, while keeping production costs as a primary consideration.

Machining productivity in aluminum alloys takes a major step forward with new STREAKERS M223 and M233 high-performance cutting tools, introduced by IMCO Carbide Tool.

Imagine burying a roughing tool in a block of Ti-6Al-4V titanium and ripping away more than 1,000 cm3 (61 cubic inches) of material in just one minute. If you'd been at a recent test of Kennametal's new HARVITM Ultra 8X helical milling cutter, you'd have seen exactly that. Using a 95 mm (3.74 in.) axial depth of cut, 20 mm (0.78 in.) radially, and a feed rate of 423 mm/min. (16.65 ipm), the 80 mm (3.15 in.) diameter HARVI Ultra 8X plowed through this difficult aerospace superalloy for nearly 3 minutes straight without flinching.

Designed for applications involving small and deep threads, Carmex's new MTSB Mini Mill-Thread is equipped with coolant bores that facilitate chip removal through the use of high-pressure coolant. Constructed of solid carbide with advanced PVD triple coating, the MTS works at high machining parameters for increased productivity.

A tool that is especially designed to open a split ring and hold it for assembling a wide range of products such as fishing lures, jewelry components, key chains and lanyards has been introduced by Xuron Corp.

WICHITA, Kan. -- Superior Tool Service (STS) is No. 4787 on the 37th annual Inc. 5000, a ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.
