New Indexable Ball Nose End Mills for Rough and Semi Finish Profiling

BallRoughNose - New line of indexable ball nose end mills, designed to provide maximum reliability during roughing and semi-finishing. Its dovetail clamping design prevents insert movement during demanding operations. Insert rotation is restrained by the unique locking design in the insert seat. These features boost reliability during 3D profiling or plunging. The insert’s unique hybrid design allows one side for center cutting and the other for peripheral, eliminating the need to purchase two different inserts.

Deep-hole drilling and automation make for productive work cells

Across every industry, manufacturers are working to meet growing customer demand in a globally competitive market. Despite a widening skills gap, by organizing advanced technology into highly optimized work cells, manufacturers are maximizing productivity through automation.

“Finally! The worlds first automatically adjustable fine boring head”

Rigibore’s ActiveEdge Apex revolutionises fine boring, operating as a fully integrated, closed-loop solution to automatically compensate as the tool wears. Set and maintain critical tolerances, remove scrap and maximise productivity through this industry 4.0 ready solution.

A Brand ADO-SUS: Coolant-Through Carbide Drills

Work hardening, welding, elongation of cutting chips and poor thermal conductivity are common problems when machining stainless steels and titanium alloys. OSG’s A Brand^® ADO-SUS drill series is designed to excel in these materials. ADO-SUS’s "Mega Cooler^™" coolant hole shape improves coolant flow and chip evacuation while reducing heat generation; this reduces work hardening and results in longer tool life. ADO-SUS also features OSG’s proprietary WXL® coating for improved wear resistance.

Drilling Versatility with the DRV Magic Drill

What do you do when you have a 0.688" diameter drill and you need a 0.697" diameter hole? This sort of question is common in shops that have a limited selection of cutting tools. Kyocera's DRV Magic Drill series can accomplish a radial offset to drill larger than the existing tool. The 0.697" hole shown was drilled in 1018 steel with a S100-DRV0688-5-05. Inserts were SCMT060205XMECA520D and SCMT060210XMIPR1535. Speeds and feeds used were 390 SFM, F.0016 IPR. The surface finish is very good due to excellent chip evacuation.
