Cutting Tools & Tooling

The Diatool easyZERO runout compensation nuts from Monaghan Tooling are designed for round tools using ER collets (ER16 to ER40). The easyZERO corrects runout errors and misalignment for round tools, providing reamers with the stability to hold tolerances as tight as 0.0011".

The DoFeedTri high-feed cutter series from Tungaloy-NTK America, Inc. is now available with a broader selection of tool body diameters, offering customers enhanced flexibility in matching tool geometry to application demands, the company says.

Big Daishowa's new negative inserts for its SW rough boring and EWN fine boring heads feature proprietary six-edge designs to help machinists realize major productivity gains.

Precision is everything when it comes to manufacturing for the Oil and Gas industry. Gavin Schmitz and John Whitmore from WellHead Systems Inc. (WSI) take us behind the scenes on how their team, located in the small town of Hill City, Kansas, powers the industry with their products and Blowout Preventers (BOPs).

As a pioneer in friction stir welding (FSW) technology, Mazak MegaStir showcased its patented high-speed Instrumented Tool Holder (ITH) for friction stir welding (FSW) during Fabtech 2025. Mazak MegaStir takes the process to the next level with its fast-moving ITH that further boosts joint strength and provides practically zero part distortion. The tool holder is used in Mazak HYBRID Multi-Tasking machine operations that combine subtractive processes with that of FSW assembly/joining. This hybrid platform provides the ability to join assembly components on the same machine with the same operator and consolidates factory floor footprints while decreasing capital expenditures.

Maximum Metal Removal, SERIOUS SAVINGS

When surface finish, diameter, straightness, or roundness requirements are closer than traditional drilling operations can produce, it may be necessary to add a drill, endmill or single-point boring tool to the operation, often at the expense of poor chip control.
