New Tools Needed
New cutting tool materials are required for new generation airframes.
Flex Time for Grinders: General Industry Coverage
Multifunction grinders, which include other machining operations, enable shops to complete parts in a single setup, among other benefits.
New Grind: General Industry Coverage
Grinding round HSS cutting tools can be more efficient than milling them. Being able to dress new hybrid metal/polyimide-bond wheels on the grinder adds to the efficiency.
Big Ideas for Workholding: General Industry Coverage
Holding large workpieces, especially heavy ones, requires parts manufacturers be more mindful of workholder and machine tool limits than they have to be with smaller workpieces. Also, shops may need to improvise when a conventional workholder can't secure a large workpiece.
The ABCs of Gen Y
Generation Y workers are a different bunch, and many may be reluctant to work in manufacturing. To recruit them, companies first must understand what makes Gen-Yers tick.
Dollar Power: Supply Chain & Logistics
Read CTE's Fifth Biennial Salary Survey to learn which positions are earning more and how much more since the 2006 survey, which positions are earning less and how much less, and how benefit packages have changed.
High-speed wire act
Cutting Tool Engineering captured a brief demonstration of the FI 240 CC high-speed wire EDM machine at the GF AgieCharmille booth during the EASTEC show this spring.

Kicking Out Bad Vibration: Design & Engineering
High-speed, vibration-free endmilling of aluminum workpieces requires cutting tools with certain features and requires certain types of toolholders. Also, it can be aided by cutting strategies.
Tiny Tech: Trade Shows & Events
A recap of some of the applied microsystem technology innovations presented at the Hannover Messe trade fair.
Striving for Consistency: Drilling Performance
Reliably drilling high-quality holes in ductile cast iron requires understanding the material's structure, avoiding problems such as core shifting, keeping machining temperatures down and other considerations.
Drag Race: General Industry Coverage
Drag finishing—fixturing parts and dragging them through abrasive media—can prevent part-to-part contact, achieve tight edge tolerances, impart fine finishes and be used on parts with a number of characteristics: delicate, high value, complex geometries and multiple contours.
