Casting Light on First-Stage Aluminum Machining
To boost the first-stage roughing operation on newly-cast aluminum cylinder heads and engine blocks for the automotive industry, the M5Q90 tangential milling cutter from Sandvik Coromant completes ‘cubing’ (first machining of faces after casting) in a single operation without creating burrs.

How to Significantly Increase Metal Removal Rates on Cast Iron
Innovative tooth geometry on the high performance Cast Cut carbide bur from PFERD can increase metal removal rates by up to 100 percent in automotive, foundry, welding, and general industry applications.

Long-Lasting Double-Cut Carbide Burrs Increase Stock Removal
For high stock removal and smaller, granular chip-break on hard-to-grind stainless steel, steel, cast steel and composites, Norton Double-Cut Carbide Burrs from Saint-Gobain Abrasives are ideal for efficiently removing surface stock and weld splatter, deburring and chamfering applications with fewer changeovers.

Small Diameter Cutting and Snagging Wheels for High-Speed Die Grinders
New small diameter cutting and snagging wheels from Weiler Abrasives increase cutting performance for longer life and faster cutting in metal fabrication and shipbuilding applications.

Make More Cuts with Less Blade Changes in Thick and Thin Metals
Combining enhanced high-speed steel with a variable TPI tooth design, Extreme Metal Band Saw Blades from Milwaukee Tool cut 2X faster and last 3X longer than standard blades in thick and thin metals, including cast iron.

Efficient Precision Finishing of Parts
Used in a CNC machine tool or robot cell for precise deburring, edge filleting and surface finishing of milled, flat precision parts, Garant disc brushes from Hoffmann create smooth surfaces on workpieces produced from sintering, punching, die casting or pressing.

Tooling that Increases Uptime in Metal Fabrication Operations
These punching, bending and laser fabrication tools from Mate can reduce setup times, shorten process times, improve safety and increase shop profitability in fabrication operations.

Designer Jaws Increase Efficiency in Finish Machining
Combining overheight and angle cutting, UVB-HS soft chuck jaws from SCHUNK create a larger clamping surface for higher holding forces on the part that reduces deformations, increases process reliability and shortens the cycle time because the lathe chuck can be accelerated and braked faster.

Chucks that Increase Machining Precision and Reduce Tooling Inventories
With application flexibility to secure milling tools for roughing and finishing operations as well as drilling and tapping tools, cost effective Power Milling Chucks from Seco Tools deliver high precision with 5-micron runout accuracy at 3XD.

Heavy Duty Vises Deliver Maximum Clamping Force
For maximum clamping force with less operator effort in manufacturing, construction, oil and gas applications, the stout Wilton Mechanics Pro Vise from JPW Industries features an exclusive needle roller thrust bearing design that no other vise employs.
