Precision Cutting Tools' FXC Series, solid-carbide, straight-flute drills are engineered for drilling aluminum alloys and gray cast iron.

Hypertherm announced the introduction of the Powermax30 AIR, a new portable air plasma system and internal compressor in one.

Tungaloy America Inc. has expanded its line of TungCut grooving and parting tools. The two-cornered inserts reduce tool costs while the clamping system used with them delivers stable tool life and machining accuracy, according to the company.

Greenleaf Corp. says its Index-O-Cut high-performance milling system is suitable for machining all materials because of its high-shear cutting action and a 45° lead angle on the octagon-style insert.

Wiha's new BiCut SuperCuts are available in three styles; Soft Grip, Two Component Industrial SoftGrip and 1000-volt Insulated Industrial Cushion Grip.

Tungaloy Corp. introduces TungFineBall, the new series of indexable endmills for high-precision finishing.

Emuge Corp. introduced a new solid-carbide Turbine end mills program for milling turbine blades, impellers, blisks and other complex 5-Axis components.

Knight Carbide Inc. offers precision-ground carbide inserts, indexable inserts, form tools and carbide cutting tools. According to the company, the tools provide accuracy and repeatability for blueprint applications, and the carbide grades, geometries, edge preparations and coatings are fine-tuned to enhance performance.

The CoroMill QD groove milling tools from Sandvik Coromant Co. are available with Silent Tools adapters for long-overhang machining. The through-coolant grooving and parting tools accept inserts with optimized geometries to effectively evacuate chips.

A better operation starts with better tools. Since its launch in 2013, Kennametal's NOVO digital process planning application has continued growing by supplying complete tool data and process knowledge electronically, reportedly saving process planners, cost estimators, and manufacturing engineers countless hours of catalog lookups and process guesswork.

Seco Tools LLC offers the Square T4-08 shoulder mill for roughing and semifinishing. The tool has four cutting edges and a tangential cutter design that imparts a fine surface finish when slotting, contouring and plunging, according to the company.

Dedicated for groove milling and parting off operations, CoroMill QD from Sandvik Coromant takes care of chip issues with optimized geometries and a unique internal coolant solution.
