Job shops around the world may have business and customer requirements unique to each company, but concerns on how to improve costs and secure more business are common to all. "Shops want more performance options, and at the same time don't want multiple, job- or material-specific tooling solutions tying up their inventory," says Mark Filosemi, global product manager, threading, grooving, and cut-off for WIDIA.

Walter USA LLC has introduced Walter Cut UD4, a new insert geometry for radial grooving and groove turning in the automotive and general metalworking industries that delivers maximum process reliability, optimal chip formation, high levels of productivity and reduced tooling costs.

In parting, or cut-off, operations, the objective is to efficiently and securely separate one part of the workpiece from the other. To achieve this, a straight cut is made to a depth that equals the radius of a bar, or workpiece.

Seco Tools has announced the introduction of X4, a new multiedged, tangential tool for grooving and parting off of small components.
