millGrind Hybrid Machine
millGrind is a hybrid machine for additive machining. It combines grinding, milling and the option of laser deposition welding in a single machine, saving not only equipment costs, but also valuable changing and retooling time. The optional laser head can also be conveniently exchanged into the machine via a toolchanger in order to realize the functions of laser hardening, marking and additive material deposition welding.
Blendex U Turbo Blending Disc
Walter Surface Technologies aims to enhance blending and finishing processes in metalworking shops with its new Blendex U Turbo blending disc. The disc was constructed using a heat-resistant non-woven matrix, which helps it to provide a more consistent finish without smearing.
Replaceable-Tip Original T-A Drill Systems
Allied Machine & Engineering says its line of replaceable-tip Original T-A drill systems significantly reduces downtime compared to solid tools. The T-A drill system features high-performance inserts and holders ideal for automotive holemaking applications used in manufacturing engine blocks, crankshafts, piston and suspension parts.
“Manufacturing Doesn’t Pay Well Nor Make Much Money – So Why Fixate On It?”
At Forbes, commentary by Adam Smith Institute Fellow Tim Worstall: "There seems to be some idea that making things in huge sheds is a well paid occupation – it isn't. Or that making things is hugely profitable for a company – it isn't. And if it isn't either of those things then nor is it hugely important to an economy."

One PVD coating technique with certain advantages
Most PVD coaters use cathodic-arc evaporation, in which an electric arc vaporizes the coating material from a cathode. The vaporized material condenses on the tool, resulting in a wear-resistant coating imbued with whatever qualities the coater is looking to impart to the tool.
Which is better: dry or wet machining?
Throughout the sometimes-contentious world of machining, the debate rages about whether to apply flood coolant or cut dry. As in many areas of machining, the choice is not easy and requires careful and informed consideration. To further complicate the decision, minimum-quantity lubrication (MQL) can be a successful compromise that provides an efficient and effective answer to the troublesome question.
