Cutting Tools & Tooling

The exact adjustment of the damper, made of a carbide rod supported in O-rings, is made from the outside via an adjustment screw. Adjustment is achieved by fine-tuning the pre-tension of the O-rings. This allows the boring bar to be precisely set according to the vibration occurring in each application.

Thanks to significantly reduced friction, this new procedure improves chip removal from the machining zone, while the cutting heat is dissipated even more quickly and effectively through the chips. Temperature increases on the cutting tool and in the workpiece to be machined can be effectively reduced, as can material buildup and galling on the cutting edge.

Igaging EZ-View DRO Plus Digital Scales with Remote Readouts for horizontal or vertical measurements, with absolute encoders, are available with measurable ranges of 0-6"/150mm, 0-12"/300mm, 0-24"/600mm, 0-36"/900mm from KBC Tools & Machinery. They have a resolution of .0005"/.01mm/1/128".

The inserts feature three cutting edges at a 50° copying angle. Compared to the WL25 indexable inserts, which measure 25 mm per side, the WL17 inserts measure 17 mm per side. The WL25 inserts are now additionally offered in W0110-C Walter Capto tools and the W1211 QuadFit exchangeable head for Accure.tec anti-vibration boring bars.

Manual deburring and chamfering of machined parts can be arduous, but an automated process is faster and more repeatable.

Star SU, the marketing, sales and service affiliate of Star Cutter Co., has hired three area sales managers. Each ASM will be responsible for growing sales in his territory across multiple product lines, illustrating the company's ability to better serve customers through its vertically integrated structure.

Touted as the Oscars of the cutting tool industry, #ANCATooloftheYear2023 is your chance to achieve global brand recognition as well as cash and other prizes.

DoMultiRec multifunctional milling cutter with center cutting capability enables a single tool to perform multiple milling operations, including shouldering, pocketing and drilling. A uniquely designed insert integrates a center and peripheral cutting edge on one side of the insert; the same insert can be used either for the center or peripheral position for up to four indexings per insert.n

The MA230 Advance solid carbide milling cutting is for universal machining of steel, stainless steel, cast iron and high-temperature superalloys (ISO P, M, K and S workpiece groups) at the highest level. The MA230 Advance cutter is for high-performance roughing and finishing and enables reliable milling with an extremely high metal removal rate.

James Engineering, which wrote the "Deburring and Chamfering" article published in the June 2023 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, offers this video supplement to provide more information about the Broomfield, Colorado-based company and its Max System deburring and chamfering machine.

Jay Gordon, North American Sales Manager Saws and Hand Tools, for The L.S. Starrett Co., share tips on optimizing sawing processes. During an interactive Q&A conversation, Jay covers best practices for cutting challenging materials and offers tips on how to select the right band saw blade.

Due to its shorter cutting length, the JS754 Stub end mills provide full cutter engagement along the entire length of the tool. This maximizes cutter edge use, which helps reduce carbide waste for improved efficiency and increased sustainability.
