Cutting tool manufacturer Tungaloy has now expanded its Tungforce-Rec Series of square shoulder milling cutters to include size 12 inserts and associated tool bodies.

Software developer Module Works announces the 2022.12 release of its digital manufacturing software components with new and enhanced features across the company’s entire CAD/CAM/CNC portfolio, including a new deburring preview, new cycles for rotary and turn milling, multi-regions for fused deposition modeling, and simulation and post processing for U-Axis turning operations.

Milling challenging materials like tough steels, stainless steels, superalloys and titanium cause built-up or notched edges and broken inserts that increase tooling costs and cause unexpected downtime. To overcome these challenging ISO P, M and S materials, Seco developed the new next-generation High Feed SP milling system.

To provide manufacturers versatility and high value, Seco has launched its new X-Head quick-change replaceable milling head system. With the system, users can quickly and easily change between various solid-carbide milling geometries and types to optimize milling operations while reducing manufacturing costs and tooling inventories.

CNC machine manufacturer Bantam Tools, launched a new desktop CNC machine —- the Explorer CNC Milling Machine. The Bantam Tools Explorer CNC Milling Machine weighs less than 50 pounds and is designed with power and portability in mind with a durable exoskeleton and the ability to run on battery power.

Cutting tool manufacturer Horn has announced the introduction of two new carbide grades for inserts used in its DAH82 and DAH84 high feed milling systems, enabling their use for machining a wider range of materials. The expansion gives customers the ability to choose grades best adapted to their applications.

Leibniz University Hannover’s Institute of Production Engineering and Machine Tools has researched whether it is possible to save energy when conducting machining work by adjusting coolant lubricant pressure (CL pressure). Open Mind provided financial support for the project and supplied the component geometry and programming for milling and analyses.

Users who want to improve their milling techniques, productivity, performance and tool longevity can dos so by participating in the Walter ‘Mastering Indexable Milling’ online event on 7th October.
