New TruForm Whirling Inserts: Designed to fit the most common Three-sided Insert Whirling Holders for all Whirling Attachments and Swiss-CNC Machines Enhanced Technology TruForm inserts are made to meet the growing demand for maximum precision in Thread Whirling. Typical applications are medical bone screws, implants, feed screws, worm gears and semiconductor parts. Process Stability Enables rapid production of long threads on Swiss type machines. Thread whirling benefits from increased support and rigidity due to cutting threads close to the guide bushing. Superior Grind & Surface Finish Tested and proven to out perform the competition. Sharper lead angles matched with GenSwiss' high precision grind standards result in burr-free threads, increased tool life, and jewelry-like surface finish. Increased Productivity ThermoGuard and Aegis coatings provide longer up-time, thereby enabling large metal removal rates ideal for working with aggressive custom thread forms. Custom profile inserts available. https://genswiss.com/

Ceramic end mills have revolutionized the world of CNC machining, offering numerous advantages over traditional carbide and high speed steel end mills. Haydale’s SiC Whisker Reinforced Solid Ceramic End Mill offers the following Features & Benefits. 1. Heat Resistance: Ceramic end mills are made from advanced ceramic materials that can withstand extreme temperatures without losing their strength or integrity. This heat resistance makes them ideal for machining difficult to cut materials like Inconel (and other high-temperature alloys), Hardened Steels (40+ HRC), and Cast & Ductile Irons. 2. Longer Tool Life: Ceramic end mills are more wear-resistant than carbide or high-speed steel end mills, leading to longer tool life and reduced downtime for machining operations. This means less frequent tool changes and lower maintenance costs. 3. Improved Surface Finish: Ceramic end mills produce smoother finishes, reducing the need for additional finishing steps. This not only saves time but also improves the overall quality of the final product. 4. Chemical Inertness: Ceramic end mills are chemically inert, making them ideal for machining materials that are sensitive to corrosion or contamination. This includes medical implants, aerospace components, and other critical applications. 5. Low Vibration: Ceramic end mills generate less vibration during machining, resulting in improved surface finishes and reduced tool wear. This makes them ideal for precision machining operations. 6. Environmentally Friendly: Ceramic end mills are made from advanced ceramic materials that are more environmentally friendly than traditional carbide or high-speed steel end mills. This makes them a sustainable choice for manufacturers looking to reduce their environmental footprint. 7. Cost-Effective: While ceramic end mills may be more expensive than traditional end mills, their longer tool life and improved performance can lead to cost savings in the long run. This is especially true for high-volume production.

The Xebec Burrless Chamfering Cutter: Key Features and Performance This chamfering tool offers the world’s first V-shaped blade, a patented technology from Xebec. It’s this blade type that enables the tool to prevent burrs during the chamfering process. It cuts a clean, finished, burr-free chamfer. With this, you can eliminate the deburring process and shorten cycle time – saving on labor and tool costs. The cutter is designed with multiple blades, which enables a high feed rate and reduced machining time, and a flat tip, which prevents rounding and chipping of the tool. Our chamfer cutter is made from Micro-Grain Cemented Carbide, and it’s available Coated with a heat-resistant AITiCrN coating or Uncoated with a sharper edge suited for aluminum alloys and plastics. The tool also lasts twice as long as conventional straight-blade cutters, as proven by internal tests. This longer tool life is another way the chamfer cutter saves on tool costs. applied to a raw corner rather than a chamfered edge. For chamfered (and rounded) edges with critical tolerances, machining is the best solution. And as with any cuts to metal and other materials used in manufacturing, any resulting secondary burrs from chamfering must be removed. Types of parts that need chamfered edges include: Engine blocks Manifolds Golf clubs Turbines Firearm components Read More: https://deburringtechnologies.com/introducing-the-new-xebec-burrless-chamfering-cutter/
