Cutting Tools & Tooling

Cyclo-Palloid tooth profiles can be milled with specialized cutting tools. The tooth profiles are produced in multiple rouging and finishing passes. Internal and external spur gears can be produced with single tooth or progressive tooth broaching tools. Broaching tools can be turret mounted or used in a reciprocating attachment.

The new Cermet WEP10 indexable turning inserts from Walter deliver long tool life and high productivity. Their fine-grain titanium carbide substrate with Ni/Co binder produces a stable cutting edge. Combined with an extremely hard TiCN outer layer, this grade provides multiple advantages during finishing operations when compared to carbide inserts.

With their powerful and dynamic material removal capabilities and high stiffness, the Mikron MILL P 500 U (pictured) and MILL P 800 U enable continuous machining of complex shapes and tough materials while shortening process time. Their advanced thermal stability ensures reliable precision over long machining periods.

LENOX introduces the CircTech Precision CM 100 circular saw blade, a new product in the LENOX industrial circular saw blade lineup, designed for optimal performance when cutting carbon steels and mild alloys.

Allied Machine & Engineering announces the release of its newest GEN3SYS XT Pro high-penetration insert designed specifically for beam and plate production in the structural steel market. With an exclusive combination of substrate and multilayer coating, the insert is engineered to withstand heat generated while drilling in structural steel beams or plates in high production facilities.

The new CSC (Curve Segment Cutting) CurveMax milling cutters from tool manufacturer Inovatools not only reduce processing times for finishing complex free-form surfaces in tool and mold construction, turbine blade production, and complex component geometries in general machine engineering, but also enhance surface quality compared with the full-radius mills previously used for these tasks.

Tungaloy is introducing a coated cermet grade, AT9530 for steel turning applications. The new AT9530 grade incorporates Tungaloy's unique multi-layered coating technology and special post-surface treatment PremiumTec. This combination provides superior resistance to wear and fracture for improved productivity in finishing of steel during high speed machining.

Tungaloy's counterboring tools, TCB series, is now available with new tool diameters, ranging from 26 mm to 59 mm or 1.02" to 2.32", and inserts with the –CG style chipbreaker geometry.

Tungaloy is introducing Premium Internal Bar – DPMT series for efficient ID turning. This new ID turning tool series reduces cutting force by 10 percent compared with conventional tools, while promising end users with machining stability and superior surface finish quality.

JW Winco Inc. has available GN 115.9 latches with safety function, zinc die casting, operation with key, not lockable.

Sandvik Coromant, is introducing two new ceramic insert grades that are capable of performing high-speed, high-security turning operations on components made from demanding HRSA (heat-resistant superalloy) materials. The CC6220 and CC6230 ceramic grades are developed to machine demanding materials where whisker ceramics and SiAlONs fall short.

Somma Tool Co. announces complete services available to companies that use form tools.
