Cutting Tools & Tooling

This 30-minute webinar offers our readers an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the "Thread Without Dread" article published in the January 2023 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering. The article, which features insight from EMUGE-FRANKEN USA and Tapmatic Corp., maps out strategies for meeting the special challenges of putting screw threads in titanium.

A PVD-coated cemented carbide grade, AH8015 features an extremely hard high-aluminum content multilayer coating that is combined with a tough dedicated carbide substrate. The grade provides the insert with a well-balanced wear and chipping resistance.

Allied Machine and Engineering, a manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools for the metalcutting industry, announces the addition of Allied Europe, located in the U.K., and Wohlhaupter, located in Germany, to the online digital platform Allied's Interactive Experience.

Star Cutter Co., a provider of custom-engineered tooling solutions for precision applications, is displaying its cutting tools tailored for firearms manufacturing at the Shot Show 2023 in the Supplier Showcase, booth #51317.

A new type of flute design reliably evacuates chips, even with the tinniest drills. This capability ensures that hole depths up to 30 × Dc can be easily achieved with the DB133 Supreme micro drill with its 140° point angle. The DB131 Supreme micro pilot drill features a 150° point angle.

These adaptable tools can effectively finish a variety of holes in a high-mix, low-volume environment.

Endmills tipped with CBN, which is the second hardest material after diamond, are offered in sizes ranging from 6mm down to 0.1mm in diameter, with various configurations, from sharp corner, radius corner, ball, standard neck length and extended neck length. TOWA offers their CBN endmills in multi-flute configurations.

The PHOENIX PXM-PXSH end mill offers the following features & benefits: OSG's proven cutting geometries and coatings produces high performance in a variety of applications and materials. 2-face contact (end face and taper) and buttress thread for fast and highly rigid clamping. Radial runout less than 15µm and axial repeatability ±30µm for high accuracy and repeatability.

The 3B Thread Gages have the following features: High hardness TiN coating to provide long tool life. Gold coloring to visually analyze the wear condition in seconds.

The A Brand AE-VTSS end mill offers the following features & benefits: Positive rake angle which reduces cutting force. High rigidity to improve milling accuracy. New flute form that facilitates excellent chip evacuation. Duarise coating to minimize thermal cracks. Variable leads which enables stable and high efficiency milling.

The A Brand AE-CR-MS-H end mill offers the following features & benefits: Variable index to reduce chattering. Cutting edge geometry for stable machining of high-hardness steels.

The tool's CERATIZIT R84 fine boring indexable inserts feature a brand new reaming geometry specifically designed for exceptional hole finishing. The new positive geometry generates extremely low cutting forces and includes a new chip breaker that improves chip control. All of which allows for higher feed speeds while at the same time producing a better surface quality.
