Effectively reaming nickel-base alloys requires a slow and steady approach.

FM Series Tools

RobbJack’s FM series with chatter-reduction geometry, tackles deep pockets, thin walls and other severe aluminum applications. These high-performance tools reduce or eliminate chatter and ledging, and in many cases, eliminate the need for secondary finishing operations.

DM/MDM Series Endmills

The RobbJack says its DM/MDM series with new carbide and coating combination, eliminates or reduces the need for polishing, reduces wear by 909 percent, holds tighter tolerances and lasts 450 percent longer than comparable carbides and coatings designed for hard metal applications.

A1-303 Series Cutters

RobbJack says its A1-303 series allows you to machine deeper parts, slots and walls in one pass, with minimal chatter and vibration. The A1-303 tool’s chatter-reduction geometry is ideal for high-speed machining of aluminum and other nonferrous materials.

Cline Tool expands sales team

Cline Tool, Newton, Iowa, recently added two new sales positions. Jeff Prothero has been named the regional manager and project engineer for Cline Tool's Southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois branch. The company also appointed Brian Krebs as field application engineer at its Houston branch.

Rushmore Solid-Carbide Endmills

Rushmore USA’s solid-carbide endmills from Travers Tool Co. Inc. reportedly ensure better chip evacuation and higher metal-removal rates. Cutting Tool geometry is designed to prevent failures as a result of aluminum sticking to the cutting edge.

Akuma Indexable Carbide Inserts

Akuma indexable carbide inserts from Travers Tool Co. inc. use advanced substrates, high-tech coating processes and progressive geometries to provide tools for today’s demanding machining applications.

OSG acquires Amamco Tool

In an effort to expand its reach within the aerospace industry, OSG USA Inc. has purchased Amamco Tool & Supply Co. Inc., an ISO 9001:2008 and AS9100C registered company that makes high-quality, custom, carbide tools for manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive and medical industries, according to an OSG USA news release issued today.

Long-Arm Hex Key Sets

J.W. Winco Inc. offers No. 911LG-H100F long-arm hexagon key sets with ball end in inch sizes. These RoHS-compliant hex keys feature color-coding that enables them to be found faster and reduces mix-up.

Force Multiple-Flute Endmill

Fullerton Tool Co. offers a new multiple-flute endmill for high-speed machining, the Force. The Force is suitable for cutting steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys and titanium. The endmill also includes an advanced FC-20 coating, which allows the Force to machine wet or dry.
