Cutting Tools & Tooling

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.

Tungaloy is expanding TurnTen-Feed to include a new insert grade, AH8015, for efficient medium-to-heavy turning of heat-resistant alloys and stainless steel.

BallRoughNose - New line of indexable ball nose end mills, designed to provide maximum reliability during roughing and semi-finishing.

Tool-Flo presents FloCut, a multifunctional system for both external and internal applications. Its unique locking system yields increased stability, critical for side turning applications.

At first blush, hardness and toughness may seem like interchangeable concepts, but they actually exist at opposite ends of a continuum that defines indexable and solid tool performance, particularly when it comes to carbide inserts.

Tungaloy is introducing ReamMeister, an interchangeable head reamer system. ReamMeister is a high precision, interchangeable head reaming system capable of reaming holes in an H7 diameter tolerance range. The ReamMeister tools meet the requirements of high accuracy reaming because the head geometry's diameter and runout accuracy is strictly controlled when being finished by precise grinding and the taper-and-face contact connection guarantees high concentricity within very close limits.
