Intended for hook and clearance surfaces of carbide-tipped saw blades, the CHP 840 and 1300 universal sharpening machines with four CNC-controlled axes are suitable for the complete machining of all commonly found tooth geometries, according to Vollmer of America.

Hardinge announces the introduction of a hydraulically operated steady rest for its Conquest H51 CNC Turning Center. This new attachment is the Forkardt SRFN1 compact steady rest and is the ideal tool to support long workpieces without distorting or deflecting the part.

VOMAT says its full-flow filtration technology completely separates dirty oil from clean oil and allows for grinding with optimally cleaned cooling lubricants. VOMAT’s filtration systems clean the oil so efficiently that it’s useful life is much longer than if it were filtered with conventional filter systems still using paper filters or other expensive disposable filter media. A pleasant side effect is the low operating costs.

The use of carbide- or cermet-tipped thin-kerf metal circular saws allows for high feed rates, low machining forces and thin saw kerfs—all of which reduces energy consumption and saves resources, according to Vollmer of America, which specializes in grinding and erosion machines, and develops sharpening machines such as the CM 200/300 and the CMF 200/300.
