Shipments of cutting tools, measured by the Cutting Tool Market Report, a collaboration between AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology and the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI), totaled $220.7 million in January 2026. Orders increased 2.7% from December 2025 and were up 9.9% from January 2025.

Dillon Self-centering jaw forming rings, or jaw boring rings, attach to the front of jaws without tools so installation is fast and simple, and set-up times are slashed, the company says. Additionally, they provide a jaw surface true to the machine centerline and increase up-times for running machined parts.

The FlexiSan Modular Spraying System from BETE, a division of Exair, offers a portable spray solution that the company says enables mobility and effective cleaning and sanitization across a wide range of industrial applications.

ISCAR is expanding the BALL-PLUS family—a line of one-insert profile milling cutters—with new additions, including ball-nose-shaped inserts and the tools that accommodate them. The new inserts are available in the following design options:HCR D300-QF: A general-duty insert with a diameter of 30mm (1.181”), having a 180° spherical cutting edge and two straight tangent cutting edges.

Seco's newest indexable milling technology, the Double Turbo 11 milling insert, is designed for smaller machines and shallow cuts. The Double Turbo 11 is a square shoulder solution for face, side, and slot milling, the company says. Its design features double-sided inserts with four cutting edges, delivering cost-effective performance and extended tool life.

GOmill PRO from Kennametal is a solid carbide end mill lineup for small- to medium-sized shops working in the general engineering, transportation, energy or medical industries and seeking versatility and cost efficiency when cutting steels, stainless steels and cast iron.

Bio-SynXtra metalworking oils from Renewable Lubricants are designed for heavy-duty machining applications including stamping, drawing, milling, drilling, turning, grinding, honing, broaching, thread cutting, tapping, and other applications in hard materials like stainless steel, Inconel, and Hastelloy. The biosynthetic blend is transparent to allow visibility during cutting operations.

ISCAR is expanding its offerings with the addition of the new EC-H5M-CF line. The endmills, designed primarily for machining stainless steel and carbon steel, are now available without neck relief and feature a wide variety of new corner radii for diameters of 10mm and up.

ISCAR is introducing a new PVD-coated carbide grade that is intended for indexable milling cast iron (ISO K group of application). The grade, designated as IC1011, is designed for machining cast iron (ISCAR material groups 15-20), primarily nodular cast iron (ISCAR material groups 17-18), in demanding conditions such as heavy-duty applications, unstable cutting, and other challenging scenarios.

COMBI tooling from Heule Precision Tools can be configured to drill, chamfer, countersink, and in certain configurations, spotface in a single, compact tool. This technology eliminates tool changes, reduces cycle times and enhances efficiency while ensuring consistent, high-quality results with each operation, the company says.

The 770MX CNC mill from Tormach offers more power, faster motion and multiple operator-focused improvements that was designed for shops and teams that need high performance in a compact footprint. The mill features a series of enhancements intended to reduce cycle times, improve ease of use and support consistent, repeatable machining performance across a wide range of applications.
