Tungaloy America Inc. offers the DuoJustCut parting tool for Swiss-style lathes. The clamping system rigidly clamps inserts, and the optimized overhang length delivers stable and productive machining, according to the company.

Designed to achieve increased productivity, tool life and part quality, the new Seco 150.10-JETI system significantly improves the heat removal process in high-speed parting-off applications. This new system incorporates high speed steel blades, Jetstream Tooling technology and tool blocks with coolant inlets.

Sunnen's new SVL-2115 automated lapping machine brings increased productivity and part consistency to what is traditionally a manual process. Based on the same machine platform as the popular SV-2100 honing system, the SVL-2115 provides single-setup processing of hydraulic valves, sleeves, fuel system components and other parts that are prone to distortion when honed.

This authoritative book from Industrial Press Inc. is highly recommended for both students and professionals in the field.

The continuous advancement of Hermes specifications has led to a new generation of ceramic honing rings. A higher porosity supporting a better chip removal interacts with a high-performance grain, which leads to longer tool life. Thus, a significant tool reduction is the result.

Tungaloy has introduced DuoJustCut, the parting-off tool for Swiss-type lathes. The innovative clamping system designed for DuoJustCut provides highly rigid insert clamping, and a toolholder is applicable for three types of inserts according to parting-off diameters.

Eriez introduces a rare earth roll conveyor that allows customers to reliably recover and concentrate stainless steel from one of two material streams: “Zurik” conductive fraction from a fines -1” sensor sorting machine or waste fraction (drops) from a fines -1” eddy current separator.

Somma Tool Co. announces a new line of broaches called Forte. Forte broaches are made of tough broaching material. It is the company's new standard stock material, replacing M2.

Wringmaster Systems, Kalamazoo, Mich., recently introduced a new line of live bottom wringers, the company announced in a Jan. 21 news release. The smallest live bottom wringer features a 10" diameter bowl with pneumatic, top-mounted discharge, according to the company.
