Tungaloy unveils TungBoreMini, a multifunctional drilling and turning tool line. TungBoreMini unifies the capabilities of drilling, OD and ID turning tools, allowing significant time saving when changing tools and better utilization of the machine.
TungBoreMini’s insert and pocket feature a dovetail interlocking design that provides better insert clamping and stability during various applications, compared with conventional screw-down insert retention.
Eight holders are offered in diameters 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm and 16 mm (0.394", 0.472", 0.551" and 0.630"), each in right- and left-hand models. Inserts are available in four different sizes to fit the corresponding holders.

Superb insert-pocket interlock enhances insert clamping and stability in a wide range of operations
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.

DrillMeister features simple and swift drill head indexing due to its self-clamping system. Tool replacement is easy: just replace the drill head. There is no need to remove the entire drill body from the toolholder and re-adjust the tool overhang, thus reducing a large amount of tool change time.
Tungaloy Corp. added threading inserts with sharp cutting edges to its TetraMini-Cut insert series, which allows undercutting and finishing of a flange wall. Complemented by the new PVD grade, SH725, TetraMini-Cut’s new threading insert features sharp cutting edges, making it suitable for cutting…
Tungaloy Corp. further expands its indexable-insert gundrill line, DeepTriDrill, with options down to a diameter range of 14-15.9 mm. Deep-hole drilling is a challenging operation and often creates a bottleneck in holemaking shops around the globe.
Tungaloy Corp. has expanded the TungTurn-Jet line, the turning tool system with high-pressure coolant capability. Until now, coolant was simply applied by flooding the cutting area, which can cause chips generated during machining to interfere with the coolant flow, preventing it from reaching the…
Tungaloy America Inc. offers the DuoJustCut parting tool for Swiss-style lathes. The clamping system rigidly clamps inserts, and the optimized overhang length delivers stable and productive machining, according to the company.
DoTriple-Mill is Tungaloy’s latest facemilling cutter, featuring an innovative dovetail clamping system that will reportedly dramatically reduce insert lift up and excessive shear force imposed on the screws during heavy-duty milling. Compared with the last generation of facemilling platforms,…
Tungaloy Corp. offers TungForce-Rec, the indexable miniature shoulder milling cutter. The TungForce-Rec insert has a unique V-shaped bottom to enhance the insert’s resistance to centrifugal force, assuring reliability and high productivity during high-speed machining, according to the company.
DoTwistBall from Tungaloy America is an ideal tool for die and mold, as well as general engineering. Combined with a rigid clamping mechanism, the insert’s unique twisted shape improves chip evacuation for stable machining and long tool life in roughing operations.
