Cutting Tools & Tooling

Tungaloy is expanding its SNG line of internal grooving tools to include GMR, a new insert geometry that enables effective chip control and evacuation in internal grooving applications.

During drilling from solid in steel, the focus is on quality, time and cost-effectiveness. And these topics are therefore also in the foreground during the development of new tools. Along with the Tritan-Drill Steel, which is the tool of choice for the highest cost-effectiveness even in difficult drilling situations, MAPAL has developed new tools for special applications with clear added value for the user.

Walter has introduced single-sided indexable inserts with new HU5 geometry. These HU5 inserts can dramatically boost productivity particularly in rough machining of stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys and secondarily in steel. They are typically used in machining AISI 316 material, Inconel 718 and titanium.

When material dimensions don't conform to necessary workpiece dimensions, there are many ways to cut the right cut.

Buying a furnace or an oven to heat treat parts offers advantages compared with outsourcing.

If you use a CNC lathe or machining center to set tool lengths, you may want to go offline.

Get the most from combination turn/mill machines.

Weldcote offers its new lines of Quick-Change, Roll-On and Turn-On ceramic C-Prime discs for steel, stainless steel, ferrous and nonferrous metals.

Tungaloy expands its -HP geometry line of T-CBN inserts that ensures effective chip control in finish turning of hardened steel parts.

BIG KAISER has released a new set of insert grades for its indexable tools—C-Cutter Mini, C-Centering Cutter and Fullcut Mill. The new inserts are optimized to extend tool life in stainless steel or aluminum.

Kyocera Precision Tool Inc. offers the new PF chipbreaker for microboring applications. The PF chipbreaker's low cutting force design and anti-welding properties provide excellent chip control and surface finish in a variety of applications.

Kyocera Precision Tools Inc. has released the AP-style chipbreaker for aluminum applications.
