As of Jan. 1, 2024, all support for Elliott Tools will transition to Elliott. This includes sales and service support for all metal finishing, burnishing, recessing and mechanical joining tools previously sold by Monaghan. This will open the door for the company to focus on its goal of being a "cutting tool expert."

The HY-PRO® CARB VGM-NIK offers the following features & benefits: Variable Index - Reduces vibration during machining. Unique Flute Geometry - Maintains excellent cutting-edge sharpness and tool rigidity. EXO Coating – Provides longer tool life through exceptional wear and heat resistance. Chipbreaker – Creates small manageable chips.

The larger diameter cutter and new lengths both boost the Fullcut Mill FCM BBT line's already-considerable versatility, allowing machinists to tailor their tool selections for many different applications. The BIG-PLUS BBT shank products are compatible with both BIG-PLUS and existing BT spindle machines. This allows for seamless integration, no matter the machining setup.

A new family of tools and economical 5 pocket adapters for existing TANG-GRIP inserts in sizes of 2 and 3mm. These new adapters will allow parting applications of bar diameters up to Ø45mm. A new SLIM-GRIP 1.2-1.6mm inserts for a pentagonal adapter suitable for parting up to 22mm bar diameter.

ISCAR is introducing 17 mm diameter PENTA inserts, designed for machining small size parts with up to 4 mm maximum grooving depth capability. The inserts are available in a range of widths from 0.25 to 3.18 mm, with different edge configurations for parting, grooving, turning and threading.

The NEOTURN XNMG demonstrates excellent chip control and highly stable tool life in a wide range of applications. The NEOTURN system also enables machining complicated workpiece shapes close to the tail stock where space is limited. This can be performed without replacing the holder and decreases setup time substantially.

The drill bodies are available in 3xD and 5xD length to diameter ratios. The inserts are supplied in a specifically developed user-friendly key, enabling easy mounting with no setup time.

135° Point Geometry – Split point geometry for superior drilling penetration and accuracy. Double-Margin Design – For improved drilling stability and smooth surface finish. Polished Flutes - Chip evacuation is improved during deep-hole drilling when the flutes are polished. Coolant Holes – Cooling the cutting edges improves chip evacuation during the drilling operation.

The advanced design combines a strong insert structure, a durable cutter body, secure mounting, and advanced carbide grades.

The XNMU inserts are the original concept of double-sided inserts with 4 right-hand and 4 left-hand helical cutting edges for slot milling cutters. These inserts are made of SUMOTEC carbide grades, designed for milling alloy steel, ferritic and martensitic stainless steel, and cast-iron.

When mounted in a NEOFEED tool, the insert enables a positive tool rake angle which assures smooth cutting and reduced cutting forces and power consumption. The insert pocket has a dovetail shape that provides rigid and reliable insert clamping and improves the a cutter's capability to withstand heavy load.
