iMX series Exchangeable Screw on Head connection features the World's first "Carbide Head"+"Carbide Holder" double face contact connection, according to Mitsubishi Materials' own research on exchangeable head end mills. But the company did not stop there. Careful SWOT analysis of the conventional screw on head products indicated it was PARAMOUNT to re-engineer the carbide head joint connection for the next generation of Exchangeable head products to approach the performance of solid carbide end mills without encountering carbide joint failure due to tensile strength limitations of carbide threads.

KOMA Precision Inc. introduces a new line of high accuracy, high rigidity, energy saving and zero maintenance rotary tables from Tsudakoma, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality, precision rotary tables. The RG Series rotary tables are built using the new ball drive system featuring advantages like zero backlash, improved cycle times, energy conservation and a lifetime adjustment-free transmission system.

Superior Tool Service Inc. offers a look at the company's shop and its ANCA CNC tool grinding machines, along with its conventional tool grinding machine, in operation.

A shop seeks relief from the burn experienced during its creep-feed grinding operations. Given that slowing down the feed rate only helped a little, and only for a short time, the shop sought an alternative solution from Dr. Jeffrey Badger, the host of Cutting Tool Engineering's Grinding Doc Video Series.

Allied's new APX drill takes deep hole drilling to a new level. Designed to take advantage of the available power at higher spindle speeds, the APX Drill keeps the deep holes going.

Kaiser Tool Company Inc., which demonstrates its THINBIT® face grooving product lines in a brief online video, offers thousands of options and the largest variety of solid carbide, insertable and support-blade style tools for Swiss, CNC and conventional machining. Face grooving widths start at 0.004" and increase in 0.001" increments, with standard major diameters from 0.125" and depths of cut up to 1".

Chevalier Machinery Inc.'s column type, high-precision, 3-axis surface grinder series includes a new PLC controller that provides grind cycles for rough grinding, fine grinding, spark-out passes and an optional automatic over-wheel dresser with compensation to fully automate the grind process.

For milling, drilling, or tapping, VariMill™, VariDrill™ and VariTap™ deliver high performance and real economy! Extreme challenges are daily fare for job shops. To address the unique needs of job shop customers and the distributors who serve them, the WIDIA Vari family of tools is specifically engineered to be versatile, easy to choose, easy to use, and deliver superior results in a wide range of applications and materials.

The Walter Cut grooving assortment is being expanded with the new SX parting/grooving/slot milling system. The system features toolholders with internal coolant supply, parting blades, and Blaxx system slotting mills. Each of the tools uses the same SX style inserts, available in the CE4, CF5 and CF6 geometries and Tiger•tec Silver PVD grades.

One of the most nagging problems in manufacturing is the deburring of cross-drilled holes. J.W. Done Corporation developed the ORBITOOL in response to this situation. It is the only tool capable of in-process deburring of cross-drilled holes. The tool removes burrs specifically from the intersection of the crossholes. The operation can be tailored to leave a minimally broken edge or a blended radius.

T-Carb 6-Flute High Performance End Mills from SGS are ideal for aggressive high speed machining using Trochoidal and Peel Milling techniques.

The CRAZYDRILL Crosspilot is one of the very successful tools in the CRAZYDRILL line of high precision, high performance, solid carbide drills of Mikron. It is used to drill inclined holes and does the traditional operation of Flat Milling, NC Spot Drilling and the actual drilling with a twist drill in two steps instead of three.

Knight Carbide offers precision-ground carbide inserts for standard and custom tooling applications. When standard tooling is no longer available, Knight Carbide will manufacture an "exact" copy as a custom product that will match the "same" performance.

In this video, Seco Tools' new Jabro-Solid2 JS452 and 453 end mills demonstrate the flexibility, stability and high performance of the JS450 series of solid carbide tools. The latest JS450 series cutters were released in late 2013 and offer excellent cutting performance for aluminum.

Mil-Tec's High Feed cutter has positive geometry and uses ground carbide inserts that make it ideal for 40-taper CNCs. Using standard NP geometry, the HFC High Feed has high value and is said to be perfect for job shops.

Knight Carbide presents a brief case study via this video that details the use of its MK Dog Cutter to machine slots into a transmission dog gear made of 9310 Stainles Steel.

PRAB Product Manager Jack Huver demonstrates the engineering power of the Vertical Axis Crusher as it quickly and efficiently preconditions metal scrap into smaller, more manageable chips in this brief online video.
