With years of experience providing custom cutting tool solutions to aerospace and other composites users, Kennametal is now introducing a line of Beyond solid-carbide KCN05 routers specifically engineered for successfully machining CFRP.
Iscar Metals Inc. says it has improved its line of CUT-GRIP and HELI-GRIP groove/turn tools with a new CVD-coated substrate that doubles tool life while raising productivity by 15 percent.
To meet the growing demand from the energy/powergen sector, ISCAR has launched a line of extra-strength standard grooving tools for more efficient and secure machining of T and L slots so common in turbomachinery.
ISCAR TIGERV heavy-duty grooving inserts with a new chipformer design, ensure better tool security, chip control and ejection in difficult grooving operations on carbon and high-alloy steel even at slow speeds.
Following the introduction of grade IC6015, ISCAR is introducing an additional new, SUMO TEC CVD coated grade, IC6025, which was developed for machining stainless steel at moderate cutting speeds for stable or unstable conditions.
