Cutting Tools & Tooling

Emuge Corp. announced a comprehensive line of high-performance tools for threading demanding nickel/superalloy materials to 46 HRC.

Sandvik Coromant is launching a deep-hole machining concept for the STS system, CoroDrill 808.

Kennametal's NOVO digital process planning application has continued growing by supplying complete tool data (milling, turning, holemaking, tools, toolholders, spare parts, speeds and feeds, and much more) digitally, saving process planners, parts estimators, and manufacturing engineers hours of catalog lookups and process guesswork.

Shops turning a wide range of materials face extreme challenges daily. They know that the most efficient machining means finding the "sweet spot." Too slow may increase attention to detail but also increase opportunities from speedier competitors. Accelerating speeds and feeds may actually lower efficiency if you're using up tooling faster or stopping your turning center more often to clean out stringers.

Lach Diamond offers the >>Cool Injection-Plus

Late last year, Kennametal finalized its acquisition of the tungsten materials business from Allegheny Technologies Inc., including the full line of Stellram metalworking tools.

EXAIR's new 1" High Power Stainless Steel Flat Super Air Nozzle produces a flat 1" (25mm) wide airstream with a strong blowing force of 16 ounces (462g) when mounted 12" (305mm) from the target.

SGS Tool Co. has expanded its S-Carb offering to include a new ballnose geometry, additional corner radius and reach options and larger diameters.

NTK Cutting Tools has released a new proprietary group of advanced composite cutting tool materials called "BIDEMICS."

Owing to new processing technologies, 15 years ago, Lach Diamond pioneered to place ;a chipbreaker guide step three-dimensionally as a chipbreaker into the diamond layer of a PCD insert. From this the company developed several variations for their chipbreaker program for the machining of nonferrous metals, especially for aluminum.

Accudyne Corp.'s latest bar puller, called the BIG- EZ, has a range of 1.625" to 3.00".

Walter has introduced the Walter Prototyp Supreme MB265 and MB266 solid-carbide milling cutters, two new milling tools that boost productivity due to their high metal-removal rates, while also increasing process reliability thanks to design features that act to enhance stability while simultaneously decreasing the likelihood of microfracturing.
