Horn used Mach 2026 to spotlight a broad wave of tooling developments aimed at more reliable chip control, greater rigidity and lower cost per edge. From sintered chip-breaker geometries in miniature inserts to new grooving and parting-off systems for deeper cuts, the latest additions show how tool design is being refined for process stability, surface quality and economic machining.

Horn’s latest grooving innovation promises deeper cuts, cleaner finishes, and more versatility than before. Discover how the new 66T system takes precision machining to the next level.

Cutting to manufacturer Tungaloy introduces Gabby, an AI-powered assistant designed to help metalworking professionals quickly identify suitable tooling solutions through natural language interaction.

Horn is set to bring a strong cutting tool line-up to Mach 2026, with a showcase of more than 20 new and recently launched products on its stand. An overview...

Romania is one of the fastest-growing manufacturing markets in Eastern Europe, and this is exactly where Simtek will demonstrate at Metal Show & TIB in Bucharest from May 12 to 15 which tooling solutions are driving this transformation.

By investing in an Emag WPG 7, the Swabian family business has strengthened its grinding expertise — achieving higher precision, shorter setup times, and improved efficiency in flange machining.

For manufacturers machining castings, dies, moulds and fixtures in confined areas, Roemheld has expanded its workholding portfolio with a compact hydraulic clamp. The new system is designed to deliver strong, repeatable clamping in narrow grooves, recesses and pockets, while helping to cut set-up time and cost.

Precise centring is essential for the reliable operation of injection moulds. It ensures the precise alignment of mould halves and mould inserts and lays the foundation for consistently high component quality. At the same time, the quality of the centring units and locks used has a significant impact on the service life of the mould.

German toolmaker Horn has expanded its slot broaching portfolio with new type 117 inserts for internal diameters from 9 mm, targeting higher tool life and lower cost per cutting edge.

Tungaloy introduces new STX inserts to its Tungcut series, combining advanced chip control and high wear resistance for efficient grooving in non-ferrous metal machining.
