CrazyTools on the Mikron Tool booth at AMB

September 2014

The Swiss tooling manufacturer presents its new cooling concept on drills and mills. The coolant through the shank provides an efficient cooling to the point of the tool. The result is a reliable process and an increceased productivity. Cooling channels are integrated into the carbide shaft. Coolant ports are at the end of the shaft taper where they produce a steady and massive cooling effect of the cutting edges which facilitates in turn high cutting speeds. A targeted ﬂushing of the (…)

Everything that a machinist desires…

September 2014

Increased productivity. Is there anyone who is not familiar with this overused buzz word? However, it clearly indicates how great the demand for more efficient production and shorter throughput times is. Hainbuch announces the expansion of its modular system (to be seen at the next AMB). Whether for series production or for single-piece manufacturing, complex parts, increasing costs for energy and materials, as well as delivery times that are becoming shorter and shorter, these factors (…)

Multiple different chamfers possible

August 2014

To address the issue of requiring multiple, dedicated cutters in the toolchanger of a machining centre to create different component chamfers, Sandvik Coromant can now offer CoroMill 495®, a universal tool which ensures machine shops only require a single chamfer cutter to perform various chamfering operations. This not only creates extra space in the toolchanger but minimises tool inventory and costs. Most engineering components require at least one chamfer, and because the majority of (…)

New thread milling cutters

August 2014

When machining complex parts made from expensive materials, secure performance is clearly vital. With this in mind, cutting tool specialist Sandvik Coromant has introduced a range of small CoroMill® Plura thread milling cutters designed to counter the threat of tool breakage and component damage associated with conventional taps. The advantages of thread milling compared with tapping are well documented. For example, a thread mill can address a range of hole diameters instead of just one (…)

New generation inserts generate low cutting forces

June 2014

When milling stainless steel there are many challenges to overcome, including difficulties with chip formation, tool life and productivity. The latest insert geometries for CoroMill 345® have been designed specifically to offer the light cutting action and low forces required to surmount such challenges. Numerous benefits include not only higher metal removal rates and greater throughput, but the ability to use CoroMill 345 on small taper machines (ISO 30 and ISO 40 machines), in vibration (…)
