Cutting Tools & Tooling

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.

Typical aero-engine components that the grades can machine are gas turbine discs, casings, blisks, spools, shafts and blades.

Utilize the knowledge of application specialists to increase thread quality, productivity and profitablity.

The DXGQ/U0703 inserts feature 55° nose angle with brazed CBN tips that are designed for hard part turning applications. The inserts incorporate HP chipbreaker and use WavyJoint brazing technology for the CBN tips which are designed to provide enhanced insert reliability during hard part turning. Also, the inserts feature four total cutting edges for excellent cost-per-part efficiency.

Walter Surface Technologies has acquired Greenfield Industries, a US-based manufacturer of branded and private label cutting tools.

Federico Costa, managing director of Febametal S.p.A. from Turin, Italy, was elected president of the European Cutting Tools Association (ECTA).

With the Thrill∙tec™ TC645 Supreme, Walter combines chamfering, core-hole drilling and threading in a single tool and operationn

In addition to operating on narrow grooving on typical CNC lathes, the new V-shaped TDMV inserts are suitable with a wide range of applications on Swiss automatic lathes, with a concentration on miniature product machining. The V-shaped TDMV insert line is a multi-purpose option and the optimal tool for innovation in the groove machining segment in order to meet various customers' needs.

The TungHeavyGroove toolholders utilize a frontal coolant system, delivering high-pressure cutting fluid from the bottom to the flank face of the cutting edge. This innovative design enhances chip evacuation and extends insert tool life significantly. Furthermore, an extremely rigid dovetail insert clamping method sustains heavy cutting loads during aggressive wide grooving and profile grooving, while providing process security.
