Schunk has released the Tendo Platinum toolholder for almost any milling, drilling, and reaming application. With vibration dampening and runout accuracy of less than 0.0001 in. at 2.5x clamping diameter, this toolholder works in configuration with the machine spindle and the cutting tool to...

Walter has launched its new milling cutter line with the MD133 Supreme, a tool that is suitable for difficult-to-cut materials and unstable conditions caused by the machine, workpiece, or clamping. Designed specifically for dynamic milling, the line delivers increased process reliability,...

Iscar has expanded the HeliQuad line with new milling cutters that carry its S/QDM 1205 single-sided, square inserts. The F90SD-12 face milling cutters feature an advanced design that improves performance when compared to the current tools, the company states. Incorporating coolant channels with...

By including an extra linear axis located perpendicular to the centreline of a machine spindle, shops can machine additional complex features during one operation and eliminate a secondary process.

Advanced coatings are allowing inserts to cut faster; last longer; and chip away at new, tough materials to create complex shapes. By using a coating developed even a few years ago, a manufacturer can miss out on the opportunity to lower production costs.

Iscar Tools, Oakville, Ont., hosted a manufacturing event in November. Attendees from shops producing metal parts viewed demonstrations on machines supplied by Megatel, Mississauga, Ont. CAM provider In-House Solutions, Cambridge, Ont., also was on hand to answer programming-related questions. The...

Seco Tools has expanded its Steadyline® vibration-dampening tooling system to include large-diameter turning/boring bars. The new 2.36-in.- and 3.15-in.-dia. sizes are suitable for workpieces that require tool overhangs of up to 23.62 in. and 31.50 in., respectively. These turning/boring bars...

Tungaloy is adding the MH chipbreaker to its DoFeed family of milling tools for machining of ISO H workpiece materials, especially hardened steel of 50 HRC and above. The chipbreaker incorporates a large wiper radius on its cutting edge, enabling a smooth tool entry to the hardened workpiece,...

Sumitomo Electric Carbide has released the AC4010K and AC4015K turning grades for cast iron. Consisting of a smooth cutting edge treatment, the grades use high adhesion technology to improve peeling resistance. In addition, crystal orientation control technology provides high wear resistance during...

Back spotfacing tools are backwards counterboring tools that allows the machining of large spot faces (up to 2.3xD of the through-hole) and counterbores without turning over the workpiece.

Iscar has introduced WhisperLine anti-vibration blades, which are designed to eliminate vibrations in deep-grooving applications. Vibrations occur as a result of several factors, including poor machine and clamping system rigidity, part shape, cutting tools, insert design, and cutting parameters....

Advanced tool options that provide an additional axis and work in conjunction with CNC equipment make producing complex, accurate parts for the oil and gas industry possible with fewer tool changes.

Walter, Waukesha, Wis., has appointed of Dan Shelton as managing director U.S. He is responsible for leading and managing the sales performance of Walter U.S., including responsibility for financial planning, target setting, negotiating group agreements, and management of stakeholder relations that...

The Canadian Tooling and Machining Association (CTMA) held its annual general meeting (AGM) and dinner at the Elm Hurst Inn, Ingersoll, Ont., in September. In addition to usual AGM formalities, the goal of this event was to highlight CTMA’s activities throughout the year as well as to network....
