Face Mills For Low Cutting Speeds, High Metal-Removal Rates

Drill Cuts Cycle Time, Costs By More Than 60 Percent

This supplier of engineered gear and drive systems had problems with tool life and lengthy cycle times when drilling holes on a large drive shaft made of forged alloy steel. A new drilling system resolved these issues and exceeded the company's expectations. 

Air-Actuated Boring Tool Offers In-Process Gaging

An air-actuated boring tool semi-finishes cylinders on the down stroke and finishes on the up stroke. In-process gaging compensates for tool wear to maintain bore accuracy.

When Cold Forming Threads Makes Sense

Recent tap geometry refinement and advances in coating technologies have made the chip-less, cold-forming operation suitable for a wider range of workpiece materials.

Dual-Carbide Technology Addresses Basic Drilling Challenge

A dual-carbide-grade drill has a micro-grain carbide core blended to provide toughness to prevent chipping at the drill's point. Surrounding the core is a second carbide grade that provides hardness needed for wear resistance at the drill's outer edges.

Quick-Change Collets Increase Spindle Speeds

Minimizing Turning Center Cutting Tool Touch Off

Turning center cutting tools vary from one type to another. When the turret rotates a cutting tool into position, the cutting edge of a turning tool will be in a different position than the cutting edge of a boring bar, a drill or a back-turning tool.
