Boeing experts recently responded to this question when it was submitted through our Aerospace Machining Zone
Read MoreSpecialty End Mills
Scientific Cutting Tools’ corner-rounding end mills feature three flutes and are double ended to provide maximum value. The cutter diameter and the cut depth are held to ±0. 001" tolerance to provide ease of setup.

Boeing experts say climb vs. conventional is not the key. They recently answered a question submitted through our Aerospace Machining Zone, saying the key to tool life is actually chatter control.
Read MoreRapid Change Tooling
ITI Tooling says its Rapid Change tooling system offers a fast and safe way to exchange tools on CNC lathes. Swappable heads, static or driven, can be exchanged in as little as 7 sec, which reduces setup and tool-change times. The company’s cam-lock device allows users to release or secure swappable heads with a half-turn of an Allen wrench.

A sliding, locking mechanism allows users to quickly push this vise’s moveable jaw close to the workpiece before tightening the wrench. This minimizes the number of wrench turns to secure the part and allows users to quickly clamp parts of various sizes.
