Iscar introduces a new range of mini SWISSGRIP tools for Swiss-Type Machines with .024” to .047” wide inserts for economical parting of Ø.394-Ø.629” bars.

NSK America introduces CTS-3030, the first high-speed ultra-precision spindle that seamlessly transports coolant through the cutting tool, resulting in superior hole quality and increased productivity. The CTS-3030 Spindle allows for smaller, more manageable chips for better chip flow, spindle accuracy within 1 Micron and eliminates the need for secondary drilling operations.

Maximizing cost savings and improving product quality are two of the most critical objectives for machining operations. An effective way to achieve these goals is real-time monitoring of production process quality. The Marposs WRSP60 scanning probe measures the profile and surface of newly worked parts quickly and accurately. The tool can automatically define critical measurements like TIR, roundness, and concentricity for rounded parts with a remarkable repeatability of 0.4 microns. Equipped with radio data transmission, the WRSP60 integrates perfectly in lathes and machining centers.

Join Cutting Tool Engineering for a one-hour grinding webinar based on the "Diamond in the Wheel" feature article published in the October 2023 issue of CTE magazine. Authored by Thomas Namola and Jeremiah Wolf — product development and applications engineers at Abrasive Technology LLC — the article discusses the use of optimized single-layer diamond tools for cutting and shaping natural fiber-reinforced composite material. Namola and Wolf recap the article and take questions from webinar attendees.

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.

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.

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.

This Fixtureworks video highlights the innovative Modular Pull Clamping System, a simple clamping system that allows 5-axis machining without tool interference.
