The Heart of the Chase
In the chase to help carriers move more freight with better fuel efficiency and less emissions, shops that supply them with parts, assemblies and final equipment will pursue the heart of faster and more accurate processes, shorter cycle times and lower operating costs: new tooling and workholding.
Remove Weld Lines, Weld Splatter, Weld Discoloration and Blend Surfaces in One Step
Rapid Prep XHD Coarse and Medium Discs from Norton | Saint-Gobain Abrasives address the most aggressive stock removal and blending challenges by removing weld lines, weld splatter, weld discoloration and blend surfaces in a single step.
Press Brake Tooling for Easier, Safer Punch Front Loading
The Maglock Magnetic Safety System of punches and dies from Mate Precision Tooling always results in the shoulder seating onto the holder with a strong, yet balanced connection that also makes lateral (left or right) position adjustments easy.
Grinding Steady Rests for Camshafts, Crankshafts and Other Complex Jobs
Fully retracting KRGU Grind Steady Rests and GHS Grind Steady Rests from Kitagawa North-Tech eliminate problems of part deflection, grind surface finish and centering accuracy in complex cylindrical grinding applications.
Advanced Geometries and Coatings Increase Penetration, Improve Tool Life
GEN3SYS XT Pro high penetration drilling tools from Allied Machine & Engineering feature inserts and holders designed for three geometries with several different coatings that can be combined and optimized for machining different materials with top results.
How to Boost Material Removal Rates on a Wide Range of Materials
The Jabro-HFM JHF181 solid-carbide end mill from Seco Tools is ideal for high-feed milling in hardened steels and nickel-based alloys, while the Jabro-Solid2 JS564 and JS565 can optimize roughing in steels, stainless steels and titanium alloys.
Abrasives and Techniques for Cutting, Grinding and Finishing Aluminum
This Aluminum Solutions Guide from Weiler Abrasives features contaminant-free abrasives for cutting, grinding and finishing aluminum, along with a helpful overview of the common challenges of working with aluminum and suggested techniques for overcoming these issues.
Drilling and Boring Aluminum Components with Dazzling Performance
CoroDrill 880 CVD diamond-coated insert grades GCN124 and GCN134 from Sandvik Coromant have super-hard properties that provide long tool life and combine with innovative chip breaker and geometry designs to guarantee superior performance when drilling materials such as aluminum.
Where Carbide Matters in Modular Drilling
The KenTIP FS modular drill from Kennametal uses a full solid carbide front to withstand more heat and abuse, and smooth, highly polished flutes that greatly improve chip evacuation and reduce wash out near the tip.
Slimmed-Down Milling Chuck for Precise, Powerful Cutting
Perfect for clamping in confined areas, Super Slim Hydraulic Chucks from BIG KAISER directly clamp ultra-small drills, reamers, ball mills, end mills, diamond reamers and grinding tools with shank diameters of 3 mm or 4 mm, all without needing a reduction sleeve.
Air-Powered Abrasive Belt Machine with American Flag Design
The Dynafile abrasive belt machine from Dynabrade is ideal for light corner weld removal, blending of welds, grinding, deburring, blending and finishing normally inaccessible areas on metal, plastic, fiberglass and other composites.
Laser Welding Lines for Powertrain Components
Based on their standard laser welding modules, Coldwater Machine Company customizes each system to suit specific application requirements.
