To overcome various machining challenges and boost productivity, Seco has introduced new toolholders, PCBN inserts, round carbide inserts and extra-long solid carbide drills with enhanced versatility and tool life. These innovative products are aimed at applications ranging from general ISO turning to high-volume hard turning and deep hole drilling.

The machining industry has undergone significant changes with an increasing demand for superior, reliable products. In response, Dormer Pramet has launched a new range of multi-purpose solid carbide drills, highlighting their unique flute design for efficient chip removal and easier re-sharpening.

UK cutting tool manufacturer, Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC), has announced its forthcoming exhibition at the Advanced Engineering Show at the Birmingham NEC in November. The Tamworth-based company will be showcasing its latest developments on stand S170 during the event on 1 and 2 November.

In the field of aluminium machining, operators often look for more specialist tools as their requirements are often very specific. Now, with the new DC166 Supreme, premium tool manufacturer Walter has demonstrated just how special a standard drill can be.

Walter has launched a new Xtreme Evo Plus drill in the DC180 Supreme range, featuring an innovative Krato-tec coating technology and an in-house developed WJ30EZ grade with an AlTiN multi-layer coating. This development promises high cutting speeds and a 50 percent longer tool life.

The market for micro drills keeps growing. This is largely driven by the increasing desire for ever-smaller technology as well as intricate components. Premium manufacturers such as Walter are responding to this trend by constantly expanding their range of cutting tools.

Tool manufacturer Guhring has further extended its range of drills with the arrival of its new Micro Precision Drills. Developed for the precision drilling of challenging materials, the new Micro Precision Drills deliver rigidity, stability, performance and precision when drilling small holes.

When it comes to solutions for plastic parts, Rodinger Kunststoff-Technik is a first address. From the idea to the construction of the injection moulding tool to the production of the individual part or the assembly, RKT offers complete solutions from one source. In toolmaking, Rodinger relies on tools from OSG.

With Walter GPS, manufacturers can now generate application-specific tool solutions. A new function also allows engineers to order Walter Xpress drilling and reaming tools directly. All the functions the App already offers for standard drills are now also available for special tools for the first time.

The machining of complex forms can be a significant challenge for manufacturers, especially if the batch size is considerable. Floyd Automatic Tooling can now provide very precise form tools for challenging material types thanks to the Schwanog range of form tool solutions.
