Ask CTE Contributors about Micromachining
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.
The Right Drill for Each Type of Titanium
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.
Superior drilling performance and long tool life
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.
