Tungaloy's DrillMeister exchangeable-head drill line now includes new TID-type drills in cylindrical shanks that accommodate drill head diameters ranging from 10.0 mm to 19.9 mm (0.398" to 0.783").

Milwaukee Tool is expanding its lineup of charging productivity solutions with the launch of the M18 Dual Bay Simultaneous Rapid Charger.

When making a cutting tool, I tend to think of a drill, endmill or other metalcutting tool being produced on a CNC tool and cutter grinder in a factory. A book by Bradley Richardson, however, describes how to make a different type of cutting tool with manual tools and equipment in a nonproduction environment.

The video proves the point—YG-1's ONLY ONE end mill provides superior cutting performance to cut where others can't. Watch how coated carbide breaks down halfway through the cut and witness how HSS CO8 can't stand the heat and stops dead in its tracks.

Walter has added Walter Capto toolholders and insert widths to its Walter Cut MX grooving system. Capto toolholders feature enhanced rigidity and modularity, while the tapered polygonal shape handles both torsional and bending forces with ease. This interface can be used for lathes and turn/mill centers.

Tungaloy is adding 177 new shapes and geometries to its BXA20 line of coated T-CBN inserts designed for turning hardened steel parts.
