Cutting Tools & Tooling

Peak Toolworks held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open its location in Elkhart, Ind.

Extra-fine cutting edge offers high-precision machining for a wide range of internal applications. With optimized geometry and new sleeve with 4 coolant holes offers high chip evacuation, stable tool life, and decreased machine downtime.

New carbide milling cutters from Guhring for soft, tough and high-alloy materials. With a 12° rake angle, RF100 Sharp end mills are excellent at shearing gummy materials and feature reduced cutting forces. Available as standard tooling from 1/16" diameter to 1" diameter, in two lengths - also metric sizes.

Sandvik Coromant has developed a set of internal goals called Make the Shift that it hopes sets a new industry standard and raises the bar for a sustainable metalworking business.

The WNN15 grade delivers outstanding process reliability and long tool life, even at extremely high cutting speeds. This means that it makes indexable insert drilling more cost-effective than comparable PCD tools with immediate effect. The indexable insert drills offer the advantage of multiple indexing which means that the tool can be used again immediately and with comparably lower costs and less time required.

AddForceBarrel uses inserts whose cutting edges have a large-radius arc of either 20 mm (.787″) or 30 mm (1.181″), designed for semi-finish profiling of 3D surfaces. Just like the TungMeister's barrel milling heads, AddForceBarrel provides much greater engagement area between the cutting edge and workpiece when compared with conventional ballnose end mills.

The answer to manufacturing's waste problem is hidden in data.

Indexable insert tools and techniques reduce costs while maintaining process reliability.

The MP060 face milling cutter with a great number of teeth (z) between 10 and 22, and with diameters from 40 mm, can be used for roughing and finishing large surfaces and flat shoulders.

The coarse pitch cutters retain a prominent feature of TungForce-Rec that provides maximum tool rigidity during demanding operations. In addition, flutes on the cutter body are designed with large chip space to promote smooth evacuation, preventing chips from clogging during operations.

ANCA has designed a special dental drill loading kit including tailored RoboMate pallets for FX machines using a Fanuc 200iD robot loader. The pallet top allows a reduction of the insertion depth of the shank with an 8mm pocket depth, so that drills with only 10mm of available shank length can be loaded.
