Cloud Machining Takes Center Stage
Users of Mastercam 2018 now have direct access to complete, up-to-date cutting tool product data from cutting tool manufacturers that are available on the MachiningCloud, and can quickly filter possibilities down to an optimum solution for a given workpiece.
BTA Drilling Machine Used for Helicopter Manufacturing
Ideal for manufacturing drive shafts for helicopter tail rotors, the DeHoff BTA/STS 2084 from Kays Engineering drills on-center holes in a single pass in solid high-strength alloy steel using the BTA/STS process.
Robust and Versatile Vises for 5-Axis and Production Workholding
MaxLock HP self-centering vises, DTR DoveLock dovetail 5-axis vises and the DX6 CrossOver vise from Kurt combat jaw deflection and part lift and provide easy access to the workpiece.
Carbide Tipped Band Saw Blades for General Purpose Cutting
VERSA PRO carbide tipped blades from LENOX use a proprietary carbide tip and HONEX technology that pre-hones the cutting edge to minimize chipping and help eliminate the break-in process for long blade life across a variety of metals and cutting applications.
Tooling for Machining Heat Resistant Super Alloys
Effective for roughing and semi-finishing of turning and milling applications using RCGX, RNG, RPGX, SNG, SNGX geometries, the new SX3 SiAlON Grade from NTK Cutting Tools combines excellent wear resistance and toughness required for cutting Heat Resistant Super Alloys.
High Speed Spindles and Vacuum Workholding for Milling, Drilling, Cutting and Grinding
Micro Line high speed spindles and Witte vacuum workholding systems from IBAG North America are ideal for precision machining applications.
