Blaser Swisslube Inc. announces the release of Blasocut BC935SW. Blasocut BC935SW is formulated with the latest in state-of-the-art metalworking fluid components.

Mitsui Seiki has developed a universal vertical thread grinder, offering many important benefits for customers making precision lead screw type parts.

By combining high clamping force and optimized interference levels, Kennametal says its new KM4X100 provides a robust connection, extremely high stiffness, and bending load capacity for greatly improved performance in machining high-strength alloys and other materials.

ESAB's Global Center of Excellence for Gas Apparatus introduces a new line of manual Straight Cutting Torches (SCTs) as part of its new Elite Series of gas apparatus products.

The chatter or vibration in metal cutting poses an eternal challenge for manufacturers. The ISCAR products of the latest HIGH QLINE family of cutting tools offer an interesting solution: Indexable Milling Insert with an asymmetric shape.

Five-axis machining varies from very small to extremely large and requires the right workholding to obtain optimal machining results and no single workholding option solves all needs, reports Kurt Manufacturing. Part complexity and size requirements coupled with machine capabilities and limitations dictate what workholding works best. To meet these challenges, Kurt has expanded its 5-axis workholding to include 15 different options to provide the solution that reportedly offers a cost-effective platform, high clamping force, high productivity and reduced downtime.

CIMCOOL Fluid Technology introduces five new cleaners to the market.

Allen Benjamin Inc. has introduced a line of high performance, application-specific HSSE spiral-flute pipe taps.

Manufacturers, especially job shops, know better than most the pressures of ever-increasing customer demands and the equally demanding requirements to control costs. Multi-purpose tools have been one method many shops use to bridge the gap — excellent in certain materials and "good enough" in others to get the job done. Field tests are confirming the WIDIA VariTap delivers the best of both worlds: superior tapping performance in multiple work materials without sacrificing part quality or tool life.

A new $495 Micro Drill Analyzing Microscope from Titan Tool Supply Inc. inspects the geometry, finish and accuracy of new and resharpened miniature carbide drills as small as ¹⁄₈" in diameter.

Lista offers rugged Technician Series toolboxes at an affordable price.

HELUKABEL has grown its TOPFLEX product line with the introduction of the TOPFLEX 620 VFD. This flexible-PVC, XLPE-insulated power cable is ideal for applications with high voltage spikes and long cable runs due to its low capacitance.

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.
