The webinar, which is based on the "Tiny Drillers" feature published in the August issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, delves deeper into the products and strategies recommended for deep-hole microdrilling by Kennametal Inc. and Sandvik Coromant Co. In addition, a representative from MAQ AB discussed the company's vibration-damped turning tool that is 8 mm in diameter, which was the subject of a sidebar to the main feature article in CTE's August issue.

Not all titanium is alike. Depending on whether it is pure titanium or alloyed titanium, the chip removing process behavior differs. For these challenges, Mikron Tool has developed drills tailored to specific titanium grades that can machine titanium safely — with higher cutting performance results, longer tool lives and excellent hole quality. The webinar, which is presented by Clive Komlenic, sales director, East, for Mikron Tool, addresses chip formation, torque, material properties, overheating and Mikron’s latest state-of-art drill series technologies aimed at machining titanium.

Tungaloy’s DrillMeister and AddMeisterDrill lines of head-changeable drills offer stable performance, long tool life, with significant cost-savings thanks to the elimination of tool reconditioning and reduced inventory. Our new modular drill body, combined with the TungFlex system, ensures increased reliability of long-reach drilling for hole depths up to 3xD.

This Fixtureworks video highlights the innovative Modular Pull Clamping System, a simple clamping system that allows 5-axis machining without tool interference. The innovative pull clamps can be used as a mechanical zero-point clamping system for quick fixture change with locating repeatability of 5 microns.

A hands-on educational program designed to spread awareness about careers in manufacturing, Camp CHAMP debuted as part of the Leyden Student Summit held last month at East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, Illinois. Of the 170 middle school students who signed up for the two-day summer career-oriented educational event, 30 chose to experience first-hand what it takes to make pens out of wood using tabletop machinery. The students watched and assisted with various operations as they moved from one station to the next. There was a tabletop lathe, a rotary grinder, a tabletop milling machine, an assembly station, a laser marking machine and, finally, an inspection system.

RF 100 Diver has established itself with customers that require high flexibility. The Ratio endmill covers five operations with one tool. It can perform drilling, ramping, slotting, roughing and finishing operations. As well as a program extension, Guhring is now introducing an innovation in the coolant delivery sector: internal cooling optimized for both milling and drilling.

Iscar continues to provide high performance drilling solutions with the IHP drill head geometry and edge prep are optimized for drilling Non-Alloy / Carbon Steel. The design’s strengthened cutting edge not only extends tool life but works well in non-rigid applications where other geometries may not be as suitable. The drill heads are available in IC948 TiAlCrN PVD grade coating in the following size range 394” to .866” in .004” increments. The IC948 coating applied on a hard cemented carbide sub-micron substrate offers high oxidation and chipping resistance due to the special multi-layer structure of the coating.
