Cutting Tools & Tooling

Benz Inc. has completely revised its broaching unit Benz LinA. With its new, compact design, the new Benz LinA 4.0 is lighter and much more rigid, yet capable of up to 1,500 strokes per minute. Easily fine-tuned and with a standard gear ratio of 2-1, this unit can power through many more materials with minimal or no vibration, greatly improving the service life of the cutter.

Scientific Cutting Tools Inc. announces a new line of high-performance helical chamfer mills. The helical cutters are significantly freer cutting and impart a smoother finish than the standard straight-flute alternatives. The variable-helical flute design provides high sheer, reduced side cutting pressure and improved chip evacuation, thus achieving extremely high performance.

Scientific Cutting Tools offers the new SPTM EXJ thread mill. The SPTM EXJ is an economical tool engineered for cutting external UNJ threads. It features a single thread profile that is ideal for keeping side-cutting pressure low.

An ID clamping boiler maintenance tool that can bevel and remove membrane simultaneously without cutting oils and no heat affect zone (HAZ) to produce superior welds is available from Esco Tool.

Remanufacturing a machine tool can make it perform better than when it was initially built.

Machine Technology: Companies partner to create an extremely fast-acting process monitoring system.

Sandvik Coromant is introducing its CoroBore BC (Boring Combination) range of products, comprised of TailorMade tools for high-volume applications. Using CoroBore BC, it is possible to perform different operations such as semifinishing and chamfering with a single tool.

Hoffmann Group USA announced that it has expanded its GARANT MasterSteel and HOLEX ProSteel solid-carbide drill ranges to include imperial sizes, thereby further extending its lead over the competition when it comes to machining technology.

Many versions of heat exchangers are used in different industries. After all, they help to make heat generated usable for other processes. In the case of recuperators, two liquid or gaseous media with different temperatures are pumped into separate circuits. A heat exchange takes place without mixing the media. Recuperators include bundle heat exchangers, which are usually made of metal and consist of a tube bundle that conducts a medium and an orifice baffle with a front tube plate through which a second medium flows.

Shops that struggle to machine microsized workpiece surfaces can now impart superior surface finishes and enhance accuracy and precision with the new Seco Tools JM100 Mini endmills. In micromachining operations with zero visibility of workpiece and cutting tool, the JM100 Mini delivers long tool life, stability and guaranteed surface quality thanks to its extremely precise geometries, virtually zero runout, advanced coatings and tight radius tolerances.

Kyocera Precision Tools' roughing endmills feature a multiple-edge design and internal coolant that make it the ideal tool for deep slotting (DOC = 2 times diameter) stainless steel and titanium alloys. The unique flutes are designed with serrated, round cutting edges to enhance chip flow.

ARCH Cutting Tools is a leader in standard cutting tools for manufacturing, providing a multitude of industries with the most trusted cutting tools in this competitive environment.
