Cutting Tools & Tooling

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.

The TC685 Supreme cutter is a left-hand cutting tool that features a 15° helix angle for excellent chip removal. Cooling with compressed air makes it possible to achieve maximum tool life in materials harder than 50 HRC. Additionally, internal coolant delivery is available for tools that create the M6 size through the larger thread sizes. The tool shank is in accordance with the DIN 6535 HA standard.

The SOLO L uses two centrifugal weights installed in a sealed tool head. With an activation speed rate of 1600 rpm or higher, the weights start moving outwards and turn the gearwheel, which drives the blade out by rotating the blade control. When the spindle is stopped and then actuated to cutting speeds, a pullback spring pushes the centrifugal weights back to the center and the blade extends to the cutting diameter. Maximum machining speed is 900 rpm.

Digital boring tools offer ease of use, precision and speed but do these benefits offset the cost?

High axial rake reduces cutting loads and promotes smooth machining.

The carbide grade SG66 is available for all common Horn insert systems. The in-house coating also enables a short delivery time for special tools. SG66 cannot replace the CBN grade. Horn has, however, filled the gap for particularly difficult groove turning applications. In comparison, the CBN grade achieves twice the cutting speed and more when machining through-hardened materials.
