Seco Tool's new generation of Crownloc Plus exchangeable tip drills takes holemaking to the next level by increasing output and decreasing machining costs.

The customised process feature, or CPF, is a special feature technology built into the hyperMILL CAM system. CPFs allow companies to define individual corporate standards for automated programming. Possible applications extend far beyond conventional features. OPEN MIND Technologies AG has enhanced the 2011 version of its CAM software, hyperMILL, adding an expanded and improved feature technology.

Jergens Inc. announces the addition of Shackle-Lok, a shackle-style hoist ring.

Successful high-feed milling is characterized as using small depths of cut at high federates per tooth, with the result being higher metal-removal rates and increased productivity. As opposed to traditional milling, high-feed milling generates lower radial cutting forces, making it an attractive concept for roughing, copy milling, profile milling, and other applications necessitating quick removal of metal, even where longer reach is required. WIDIA is introducing two new insert families specifically designed for successful high-feed milling: the M270 Series and M370 Series.

Kyocera Industrial Ceramics Corp., Cutting Tool Division introduced its new PV7025 PVD-coated cermet grade of indexable cutting tool inserts for general machining of steel.

Corrosion is the enemy to metal parts manufacturers, increasing rework costs, causing equipment to fail, and rendering parts unsalable. Houghton International's Rust Veto 4295 can stop all of that.

Sodick Inc. has released the eco-friendly AG100L Sinker EDM.

J.W. Winco Inc. offers series GN 331 and 332 Tubular Handles with Power Function in metric sizes.
