Now available from Floyd Automatic Tooling is the flexible new MSIK modular tooling system from Schwanog for external and axial grooving operations. The new MSIK system enables coolant to be delivered straight to the cutting edge to enhance tool life, surface finishes and swarf evacuation.

U-Turn Audio sought to create an innovative tonearm using magnesium due to its lightweight, strong, and rigid properties, as well as its ability to dissipate vibrations and reduce resonance. They partnered with Phillips-Medisize, a leading magnesium moulder with extensive expertise in engineering and manufacturing, to realize their vision and improve turntable performance.

A new generation of tools for grooving and cut-off milling has been introduced by German tooling manufacturer Horn. The cutter bodies are supplied from stock as side, shell and screw-in milling cutters, the two latter variants being equipped for internal coolant supply. Special surface treatment offers protection against abrasion from chips.

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.

Horn's Technology Days are back after four years. From 14th to 16th June 2023 at its Tübingen headquarters in Germany, cutting tool manufacturer Horn will offer insights into production using its products.

Metalcam launches the new version of Fikus ST, the CAD/CAM software specially developed for the workshop. The new Fikus ST 23 improves the automation of production processes in the shop floor and thus helps to increase productivity and profitability.

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.

Cutting tool expert Walter is extending its range of solid carbide milling cutters for ISO N machining with the addition of two distinct roughing specialists, the MD265 Supreme and the MC268 Advance.

With the FW4 and MW4 wiper geometries, Walter has now launched two new turning indexable insert geometries. The new FW4 and MW4 combine the ‘wiper effect’ with new chip breaker geometries and extremely wear-resistant Tiger·tec Gold grades.
