CNC Software, Inc., developers of Mastercam, the world’s leading CAD/CAM software, has announced a new partnership with KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools (KSPT) to provide tool libraries to the Mastercam user base. KSPT is an ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturer of industry leading round solid carbide cutting tools and pioneered some of the world’s most advanced cutting tool technologies.
“CNC Software is proud to partner with KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools. We’re excited to offer ten specialty series tool libraries of SGS tools in a native Mastercam tool library format for download,” said Stas Mylek, Partnership Program Manager, CNC Software, Inc. “As a result, Mastercam users gain fast, seamless access to the latest high-performance SGS round solid carbide cutting tools,” Mylek continued.
With this collaboration, Mastercam users can download both inch and metric SGS round solid carbide cutting tool libraries from the Mastercam Tech Exchange. The native Mastercam 3D tool databases are fully compatible with Mastercam 2020 and subsequent releases. These offer the latest KSPT innovations and SGS product introductions, including their latest Z-Carb HPR roughing line and H-Carb end mills for Dynamic Milling. The native libraries represent more than 12,000 tools including ferrous and non-ferrous cutting tools ranging from end mills, routers, micro tools, and drills, to reamers and countersinks.
Mark Stockinger, Vice President - Sales and Marketing, KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools, stated, “We’re excited to team up with Mastercam. This partnership provides the Mastercam user base of over 275,000 with direct import of SGS-branded round solid carbide cutting tools, along with tool data to use on their projects and jobs. This time-saving benefit gives more users access to the latest product innovations we have to offer.”

- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
