Cutting Tools & Tooling

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'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.

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.

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

Ceramic and cermet cutting tools offer productivity-boosting benefits when the application is appropriate.

Finishing module requires extra programming time, but reduction in cycle time make it a winner.

Owning a print magazine such as Cutting Tool Engineering may not seem like a natural move for someone who has served as its electronic media editor for the past 11 years, but then jumping headlong into the great unknown is kind of a thing with me.

Honing the edge of a cutting tool improves tool life, improves workpiece surface finish, reduces spindle load and reduces overall manufacturing cost.

PureCut PCBN eliminates impurities by using an ultraclean grade composition, nano-particle-sized binder and optimized CBN (cubic boron nitride) grain size distribution. This unique design delivers unmatched toughness, increased resistance to chemical wear and greater reliability in the machining of hardened steel.
