Tungaloy-NTK is proud to share the story of Ryan Stickle, owner of KPG Machine located in Danielson, Connecticut. Ryan explores his team’s dedication towards aerospace machining, and how both quality and efficiency make all the difference. At KPG Machine, heat-resistant alloys such as nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys are processed using Tungaloy’s grade AH8015. This video showcases the performance of AH8015 from a real-world perspective and shares the owner’s passion for making things that drive the company forward.

Preventing tool breakage during machining is a significant challenge, leading to tool holder failures and costly replacements. Iscar’s CER-M-TURN system addresses this by allowing the replacement of only the affected cartridge when an insert breaks, rather than the entire tool holder. This cost-effective solution ensures compatibility with various cartridges.

The system features four coolant inlets: two on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw, directing coolant precisely to the cutting edge. An enhanced clamping mechanism also helps prevent the rotation or breakage of brittle ceramic, CBN, or PCD inserts, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Engineered for aluminum, STREAKERS M213 end mills deliver fast, free-cutting performance—even during aggressive moves like ramping and plunging. These tools are built for high metal removal and consistent part quality. Now through 9/30/25: The more you buy, the more you save!

Maximize machine uptime by streamlining tool setups offline. Manual tool setups are time consuming, inefficient, and a thing of the past. Today’s most efficient shops integrate a presetter to maximize uptime, boost accuracy, ensure consistency, and improve overall machining efficiency - for both mills and lathes. Elbo Controlli Nikken presetters by Lyndex-Nikken provide rock solid precision, making them ideal for workshop environments.

Produced by CemeCon, this five-minute video offers a visual overview of the pre-treatment, coating and post-treatment steps the company takes to apply a PVD coating to tools using its high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) method. (No audio.)

In this episode, Dennis and Tim discuss the pump shaft machining project—executed with Vargus tools and filmed start to finish at Harper College. From part print review and tooling selection, to programming in Hypermill® from OPEN MIND, setup, running the first piece, and inspection by Alicona, the conversation takes you inside the process. This is Part 1 of our Vargus story, focused on lathe operations.

Join Brian Butler, Regional Sales Manager at Lang Technik USA, for a walkthrough of their powerful workholding and automation solutions at MT Series East 2025. From their original Quick•Point® 52/96 zero-point system to the versatile RoboTrex automation cell, Lang demonstrates how shops of all sizes can boost repeatability, reduce changeover time, and achieve 16+ hours of unattended machining.

Juan from Tsugami America machines a spark plug with Tungaloy-NTK America. See how Tungaloy’s ModuMiniTurn modular head quick-change tooling system, along with cutting tools from Tungaloy and NTK Cutting Tools, used in the Tsugami S206 II Swiss CNC machine can increase your miniature machining productivity. Juan shares his story of rising through the machining industry—from janitor to applications engineer—while programming and guiding us through the demo alongside Jeff from Tungaloy-NTK America. Featured tools include the ModuMiniTurn (quick-change modular head system), TungMeister (interchangeable-head endmill), TetraMiniCut, Tungaloy’s AH7025 turning insert, and NTK’s TMV chipbreaker.

Iscar expands the already tremendous flexibility of the Multi-Master system with NEW Solid Carbide Heads for Aluminum. Designed primarily for roughing and finishing in the aerospace industry, these new heads expand MULTI-MASTER’s capabilities in milling soft materials. The new additions include ballnose, shouldering and advanced profiling geometries in sizes ranging from .3125” to 1.250” diameters. There are a variety of popular radius options to choose from, as well. The strategic combination of diverse Multi-Master shank geometries and materials enhances tool dynamics, ensuring stable cutting across various milling applications.
