Lathe Toolholder Allows Quick Insert Changes
This lathe toolholder allows insert changes in a matter of seconds with the push of a button. Its cam-actuated lever provides a uniform insert clamping pressure of 8,000 psi.
Read MoreInsertable Tooling With 90-Degree Angle
Thinbit, manufactured by Kaiser Tools, has expanded its Groove ‘N Turn line of insertable tooling. The inserts have a 90-degree included angle for producing chamfers. They are available in three grades of material: D2 for steels; D5 for non-ferrous and HSS; and TiN, TiCN and TiAIN are also available.
Read MoreSmall Face-Grooving And Turning Tools
Iscar says that the Mincut family of small-face grooving and turning tools is designed for high machining rates, and it is suited for applications prone to high tool failure rates. The tools incorporate a special design and clamping system that is said to prolong tool life. The line of tools includes eight inserts that are screw-clamped into a long pocket in the tool bar.
Read MoreIndexable Drills
 GKI’s Schnell series of indexable insert drills come in seven sizes and feature a free set of GKI inserts. Additionally, the drills are interchangeable with other major brands. The company's Web site provides more information regarding specifications, safety tips and information about using the drills.
Read MoreEnd Mills For Large-Volume Machining
Developed in conjunction with major aircraft builders, Emuge’s Alu-Jet-Cut solid carbide end mills are designed for rapid, large-volume aluminum machining in mold and die, aerospace, automotive and machine tool manufacturing applications. The company says the tools are particularly useful for machining monolithic airframe structural components, which often require removal of as much as 95 percent of the weight of a solid block of material. The end mills are capable of cutting speeds in excess of 3,000 sfm.
Read MoreTurning Geometry For Aerospace Alloy
ATI Stellram designed the 4E turning geometry to meet the demands of machining aerospace-type components manufactured from high nickel, high cobalt and titanium-based alloys. Available in grade SP0819, the inserts use an approved aerospace substrate and are enhanced with a nano-TiAlN layer PVD coating. Combining a super-hard coating with a micro-grain carbide substrate significantly improves heat and wear resistance in high-temperature alloy machining, the company says.
Read MoreSmooth Deburring Of Composites
The new range of Tuff Core deburring cutters from LMT Onsrud is designed to cut smooth, straight and burr-free edges in composite materials such as the carbon-reinforced plastics (CFK) used in the aircraft and automobile industries. Two different carbide substrates protect the tools against the abrasive character of composite materials. The tool core’s higher cobalt content is said to guarantee precision, even when faced with demanding tension conditions in the material.
