Cutting Tools & Tooling

The Paradur® Ti Plus taps are for threading blind holes with a geometry specially developed for machining titanium alloys with a tensile strength of at least 700 N/mm2 using emulsion instead of oil. The Prototex® TiNi Plus tap is effective for through-hole threading.

A six-fluted countersink will remove more material per revolution than will a four-flute or single-flute tool. While the single-flute countersink is slow cutting, it will work well in a non-rigid machining setup. Four flutes provide more chip clearance than six do. This is a consideration in machining stringy materials such as some plastics and nonferrous alloys.

ARCH Cutting Tools Corp. announces the acquisition of O-D Tool & Cutter, Inc., a manufacturer of solid carbide and high-speed steel round tools located in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Despite certain limitations, rotary broaching is a fast and accurate method to machine a polygon or other form.

With enhanced thickness and speed capabilities, the XPR460 sets a new standard for precision and productivity. The system delivers superior performance in cut quality, thickness capacity, and cutting speeds. This innovative technology ensures consistent part quality from the initial cut to the last, delivering superior cutting versatility for mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Currently available for Kyocera's popular GBA external and SIGE internal grooving systems, the new PR20 Series ensures precision and longevity in every cut. The innovative multi-layered structure of MEGACOAT NANO EX not only increases the durability of the inserts but also maintains superior cutting performance throughout extended use.

Lyndex-Nikken, manufacturer of machine tool accessories, has expanded its sales team to "better serve the evolving needs of industry in the U.S. and Canada," the company said.nn

The M5250 cutter is effective for milling steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals (ISO P, K, M and N workpiece groups), as well as materials with difficult cutting properties. Unlike other full-effective helical milling cutters, the XTRA∙TEC® XT M5250 can also be used for full slotting, shoulder milling, pocket milling and ramping.

Sandvik Coromant, a supplier of cutting tools, machining solutions, and advanced manufacturing knowledge, will showcase an expanded offering of technology and services at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) held Sept. 9-14 in Chicago.

PTSolutions, a leading provider of industrial solutions based in Novi, Michigan, on May 20 announced an exclusive cutting tooling partnership with the National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA), a prominent organization in the tooling and machining industry. This collaboration aims to deliver exceptional benefits to NTMA members, including discounts on cutting tools, services and support.
