Iscar introduces a new range of mini SWISSGRIP tools for Swiss-Type Machines with .024" to .047" wide inserts for economical parting of Ø.394-Ø.629" bars.

Maximizing cost savings and improving product quality are two of the most critical objectives for machining operations. An effective way to achieve these goals is real-time monitoring of production process quality. The Marposs WRSP60 scanning probe measures the profile and surface of newly worked parts quickly and accurately. The tool can automatically define critical measurements like TIR, roundness, and concentricity for rounded parts with a remarkable repeatability of 0.4 microns. Equipped with radio data transmission, the WRSP60 integrates perfectly in lathes and machining centers.

NSK America introduces CTS-3030, the first high-speed ultra-precision spindle that seamlessly transports coolant through the cutting tool, resulting in superior hole quality and increased productivity. The CTS-3030 Spindle allows for smaller, more manageable chips for better chip flow, spindle accuracy within 1 Micron and eliminates the need for secondary drilling operations.

Join Cutting Tool Engineering for a one-hour grinding webinar based on the "Diamond in the Wheel" feature article published in the October 2023 issue of CTE magazine. Authored by Thomas Namola and Jeremiah Wolf — product development and applications engineers at Abrasive Technology LLC — the article discusses the use of optimized single-layer diamond tools for cutting and shaping natural fiber-reinforced composite material. Namola and Wolf recap the article and take questions from webinar attendees.

ISCAR recently expanded the application range of barrel-shaped endmills with new radial segment sizes. A broad range of "Barrel-Shaped" tools is now available including oval-profile barrel endmills intended for advanced semi-finish and finishing operations of 3D surface applications.

ZOLLER Inc. welcomed manufacturing professionals from a range of industry verticals to its North American headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for Automation Days on Aug. 9 and 10, 2023. Customers and industry leaders highlighted the unique solutions ZOLLER offers to automate cutting tool management and establish more resilient, reliable processes in the face of a labor shortage that is expected to leave 2.1 million jobs unfilled by 2030.

This 5-minute video report on Eagle Manufacturing, a student-run business at Brown County High School in Nashville, Indiana, is presented as a video supplement to the following Lead Angle column published in the October 2023 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine.

Sold by Germany-headquartered Chiron Group, the refrigerator-size Micro5 machining center is designed to machine small and delicate parts for industries like medical, jewelry, watchmaking and electronics. The five-axis machine can handle workpiece sizes up to 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm.

Whether it is groove turning holders and grooving systems for radial grooving, parting off, axial grooving and internal grooving, indexable inserts with new parting-off or groove turning geometries or tailored cutting tool materials and coatings, etc. — the comprehensive range of Walter parting-off tools enables you to achieve top performance.
