Allied Machine & Engineering offers the BT-A drill. The tool features T-A replaceable-tip technology suited for BTA deep hole drilling applications. The design uses the company’s T-A drilling system inserts, including GEN2 T-A, to maximize penetration rates and tool life. The product can be used with standard BTA, single-tube designs to flush the spent coolant and chips through the tool. The T-A drill insert is replaceable, which eliminates regrind, the company says. Also, balanced cutting enables increased feed rates.
Threading tools with the flexibility to thread a broad variety of holes provide the agility many shops need to stay competitive. They may be the only solution for many difficult materials.
Pairing automation with air-driven motors that push cutting tool speeds up to 65,000 RPM with no duty cycle can dramatically improve throughput and improve finishing.
Diagnosing when a tool is failing is important because it sets an expectation and a benchmark for improvements. Finding out why gives us a clue for how to fix it.
