One Blade Effectively Saws Structurals, Bundles, Tubes and Small Solids
Versatix MP bi-metal band saw blades from Starrett feature triple-tempered, high speed M-42 cobalt steel teeth with an alloy steel backing strip and use a patented tooth design that dissipates stress during cutting for less tooth breakage and longer blade life.
Readers Support U.S. Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum
54 percent of F&M readers agree with implementing the tariffs, 46 percent disagree.
Compact Trunnion Rotary Table Brings 5-Axis Machining Capabilities to the Small Shop
The TR200Y dual-axis trunnion rotary table from Haas puts 5-axis machining capabilities within reach of the average job shop that needs a powerful tool for reducing set-up time and increasing accuracy for complex parts.
U.S. to Impose Steep Aluminum and Steel Tariffs
The controversial plan to place 25 percent tariffs on steel imports and ten percent on aluminum is drawing protests from metal fabricators at home and abroad.
Cutting Edges for the Next Generation
Take a closer look at some of the cutting tools that can help metalworking shops respond quickly and deliver fast turnarounds of parts and assemblies used in next generation power plant construction, conversions of traditional plants to new machinery, and maintenance and repair of current and future plant operations.
Tooling for Automated Cross Hole Deburring
COFA-X tooling from Heule Tool consistently removes burrs from interior uneven bore edges with large intersections in valves, fittings, hydraulic manifolds and more, reducing costs and improving cycles times for operations that were previously possible only with manual deburring.
Slash Cutting Material Costs When Machining Turbine Components
The M2471 copy milling cutter from Walter couples high metal removal rates, even on low performance machine tools, with lower cutting material costs resulting from eight cutting edges (four per side) per insert.
Large L/D Ratio Drills Guarantee Excellent Feed Rates with Controlled Chip Removal
The GARANT MasterSteel FEED 8xD and 12xD high performance solid carbide drills from Hoffmann Group guarantee excellent feed rates through a special innovative geometry with stable cutting edges and a large clearance in the center.
Cutters and Inserts for Machining Turbine Components Used in Power Generation
The R217/R220.28 cutter from Seco Tools performs cost effective face milling, slotting and contouring in ISO M and ISO S materials, as well as some difficult-to-machine ISO P materials, such as martensitic stainless steel.
Multi-Axis Welding Positioners
Complete 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis welding positioners from LazerArc provide superior accuracy, index time and flexibility by utilizing one of two mechanical drive systems, depending on user requirements.
Kitagawa North-Tech Hires Regional Sales Manager
Edward Borsos now sells and supports standard chucks, advanced chucks and engineered rotational and prismatic workholding systems.
Press System with In-Die Laser Welding Eliminates Time-Intensive Labor
The laser welding, parts assembly and cut-off operations inside the pneumatic stamping press system with in-die laser welding capability from Airam eliminate time-intensive labor, improve repeatability and reduce material handling without sacrificing production speed.
