Conventional "bump" knurling methods are undesirable for smaller diameter parts because the forces deflect the workpiece, according to Genevieve Swiss Industries Inc., Westfield, Mass. To control this problem, the company recommends using a straddle knurl holder to provide support to the workpiece while the knurling operation is performed.

The new Top Cut 4 indexable drilling platform from WIDIA is targeted to end users that machine a broad assortment of products and need one drill for a variety of drilling applications and workpiece materials. 

Morse Cutting Tools has a companion for its popular SHEARTAP, the new SHEARDRILL. The SHEARTAP is a go-to tool in the Morse Tap Offering and like its companion, the SHEARDRILL, is designed to run in a wide variety of materials providing a performance production solution. 

Even with minimal runout near the nose of the holder, conventional collet holders frequently see larger runout when measured at the cutting edge of longer tools. NT Tool’s original “R” Zero system eliminates this problem by utilizing a four-point adjustment mechanism to adjust runout at the tool tip to as low as 0µm to 2µm.

J. Schneeberger Machinen AG offers two new grinding machines: the Gemini NGM (pictured) and the Sirius NGS. With both machines, space requirement was give special attention to achieve smallest footprint with a large work envelope. 

Deemed the most compact laser production center in diamond tool manufacturing, the new EWAG LASER LINE PRECISION serves as an alternative to conventional grinding and eroding methods that are unable to handle the level of precision required for processing complex cutting contours and narrow tool tolerances in CBN, PCD and CVD-­D materials. 

Walter Tools, Waukesha, Wis., recently introduced its new Advance product line, which the company claims increases tool life up to 50 percent. The MC251 Advance solid carbide milling cutters from Walter's Prototyp brand is said to be the ideal geometry for machining stainless materials from material group ISO M and for secondary applications in ISO S materials, according to the company.
