Cutting Tools & Tooling

The TAG90 center-through-coolant angle head and AG35 high-pressure coolant adapters from Big Daishowa deliver coolant directly from the machine spindle to the cutting edge, bypassing the stop block, which enhances cooling efficiency and chip removal. The new angle heads support coolant pressures up to 1,000 PSI.

In this video, Scientific Cutting Tools breaks down the key styles of our high-performance port tools—including reamer style, solid pilot, and pilotless designs.

ESAB has unveiled its Vision T6 CNC, a controller for automated plasma and oxy-fuel cutting machines that the company says is as intuitive to use as a smartphone or tablet. The Vision T6 features a multi-touch, high-definition panel with a Windows operating system. The Vision includes features such as swipe-to-zoom, drag-and-drop, and a familiar home button.

In response to market demand, ISCAR is expanding the ECKI-H4R-CF chatter-free line of 2xD endmills. These endmills, designed specifically for high removal rate machining of titanium, are now available with a diameter of 1" and a variety of new corner radii.

ISCAR has expanded its ECKI-H4R-CF solid carbide endmill line with the addition of a 1" diameter and a broad range of new corner radii options. Specifically engineered for high-efficiency machining of titanium, these tools are optimized for full slotting operations up to 2xD.

The TiNox-Cut VAR end mills line from EMUGE-FRANKEN USA are application-specific for machining tough materials from stainless steel and titanium to Inconel and nickel alloys and other challenging applications, the company says. The high-performance VAR end mills line -- with VAR an acronym for versatile, American-made and reliable -- is offered in four end mill types for semi-roughing and finishing applications:

The SWS Rough Boring Head from Big Daishowa is suited for setups without a presetter. It features a twin-cutter boring head that allows for diameter adjustments without a tool measurement unit, which the company says makes setups faster and easier while maintaining a high level of precision.

Tungaloy has expanded its TungBoreMini multifunctional tool series. It is now available with a minimum bore diameter (DMIN) of 8mm (0.315") for use with TinyMini-Turn sleeves. It perform multiple operations including drilling, ID/OD turning, and face turning with a single tool.

Juan from Tsugami America machines a spark plug with Tungaloy-NTK America. See how Tungaloy's ModuMiniTurn modular head quick-change tooling system, along with cutting tools from Tungaloy and NTK Cutting Tools, used in the Tsugami S206 II Swiss CNC machine can increase your miniature machining productivity.

Iscar expands the already tremendous flexibility of the Multi-Master system with NEW Solid Carbide Heads for Aluminum. Designed primarily for roughing and finishing in the aerospace industry, these new heads expand MULTI-MASTER's capabilities in milling soft materials. The new additions include ballnose, shouldering and advanced profiling geometries in sizes ranging from .3125" to 1.250" diameters.
