Cutting Tools & Tooling

Iscar's Quick-D-Mill combines the functions of Drilling and Milling into one cutter for Maximum Machining Efficiency.

The TD610 Supreme thread milling cutter family from Walter AG features highly wear-resistant HiPIMS coating WB10TU made of AlTiSiN. The company says the coating is extremely smooth, robust and wear-resistant, which that ensures a significantly longer service life compared to conventional coatings. In addition, the thread milling cutter has unique geometric features, such as the "trumpet bow neck," a tapered neck and groove geometry that reduces deflection, prevents tool breakage and allows regrinding in case of wear.

The Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill at 3xd from BIG DAISHOWA features a unique design that the company says delivers up to three times longer tool life, three times higher coolant-through output and three times faster drilling.

Tungaloy Corporation expanded its Y-Pro Series of inserts with the addition of precision-ground YCGT inserts featuring a 25° corner angle for enhanced profiling and undercutting performance.

Broaching evolves with rotary, single-point and CNC-driven tools, plus cleaner electromechanical machines—delivering faster cycles, higher accuracy and lower costs.

The Force lineup of solid carbide metal cutting drills from Dormer Pramet helps overcome drilling performance challenges through a combination of advanced geometries, optimized coatings, and innovative flute designs.

The Self-Lock Threading Tools Line from Emuge-Franken USA has been expanded to include additional Threads-All/AERO Thread Mills, including fourteen new 2 x D sizes from #5-40 to 1"-12, and offered for the first time, thirty 3 x D sizes ranging from #2-56 to 1"-12.
