NEW GRADES FOR TURNING OF EXOTIC MATERIALS
Featuring a Super ZX multi-layered coating, the new grades AC510U and AC520U from Sumitomo Electric Carbide, Inc. are perfect for roughing, finishing, and medium cut machining of super alloy materials. The Super ZX Coating consists of ultra-thin layers of TiAlN and AlCrN, alternately stacked up to 1,000 layers. As a result, higher speed capabilities and greater wear resistance are achieved.
NEW STRAIGHT SHANK FCR DELIVERS LOWER CUTTING RESISTANCE
BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. extends its popular Fullcut Mill line with the new Straight Shank FCR, designed for greater DOC and lower cutting resistance. The new Straight Shank FCR’s geometry expands capabilities in multi-functional milling, achieving supreme performance for ramping, helical-, shoulder- and plunge-milling operations.
UNIQUE NEW TOOL SYSTEM FOR STAMPING SEQUENTIAL NUMBERS ON FABRICATED PARTS
Mate Precision Tooling leads the punching industry with another first ? the all new Mate Enumerator? Sequential Numbering Tool designed to stamp sequential serial numbers, dates and codes on fabricated parts. The Mate Enumerator is a thick turret 3-1/2 in D station special assembly with integral punch holder.
FLEXIBLE TOOL CRIBS AS PART OF COMPLETE STORAGE SYSTEM
Lista International Corporation offers its tool cribs for use with various Lista storage solutions. When combined with Lista cabinets (stacked or unstacked) or the company’s Storage Wall® system, the tool cribs can become part of an integrated CNC parts storage and transport system to accommodate a wide array of tooling.
Stainless Steel Series Introduced
Cutting stainless steel on a CNC router can be a challenging task due to the high spindle rpm found on routers. Onsrud Cutter has solved this problem by developing a line of tools, which are capable of running at high spindle speeds while providing good tool life.
FACE MILLS: MAXIMUM MILLING PERFORMANCE IN CARBON AND STAINLESS STEELS
For demanding face-milling applications in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, ductile iron, and other materials, Dodeka? inserts and cutters from Kennametal, Inc. are engineered to deliver higher cutting speeds and feed rates along with extended tool life. The results are improved cutting performance and productivity across demanding materials.
HIGH RIGIDITY FINE BORING HEADS FOR HIGHER MACHINING DATA AND PRECISION
Seco Tools Inc. has announced the availability of its AxiaBore? type fine boring heads with 30 percent higher rigidity than previous generations thanks to the Cylinder & flange tool fixing design. This allows for higher machining data and increased productivity.
REPLACEABLE VACUUM CHUCK TOP PLATE ALLOWS DRILLING THROUGH WORKPIECES
This precision ground Replaceable Top Plate works in conjunction with 2L Inc. Vac-Vise Modular Vacuum Chucks. It covers the surface of the Vacuum Chuck to allow drilling through and milling around the periphery of workpieces without damaging the surface of the Vacuum Chuck.
COMPOSITE METAL HUB WHEEL BRUSHES FOR DEMANDING DEBURRING APPLICATIONS
Weiler Corporation is the leading manufacturer of power and abrasive nylon brushes for cleaning, finishing and deburring applications. Weiler’s Nylox® Composite Metal Hub Wheel Brushes (NMX) offer the benefits of composite hub products, as well as the shock resistance and dimensional stability of metal hub brushes.
POCKET MAGNETS IDENTIFY MAGNETIC MATERIAL, POTENTIAL PROFIT
Adams Magnetic Products Co. introduces Pocket Magnets, a handy, magnetic tool that identifies valuable, ferrous materials such as iron and steel. Pocket Magnets are small and convenient to carry with you so that you can readily determine whether something is ferrous.
PUNCH-PINS FASTEN PERMANENTLY TO SHEET METAL WITHOUT DRILLING
Punch-Pins, from Amtak Fasteners, eliminate the need for drilling when attaching light loads, such as nameplates and identification tags, to metal doors, electrical cabinets and steel tubing. The primary application for Punch-Pins is attaching UL Labels to steel fire doors.
NEW SOLID CARBIDE MICRO DRILL WITH REINFORCED SHANK
BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. introduces the newest addition to its Sphinx micro drill line. The new drill, made of fine-grained solid carbide, delivers exceptional tool life and consistent process reliability.
