Sumitomo has tailored its ACE Coat AC630M carbide grade insert for rough turning stainless steels and it can also handle partial interrupted cutting cycles. The insert combines a sharp cutting edge geometry with a chip-resisting coating grade that is also able to eliminate the generation of chatter marks on small diameter machining cycles and prevent built-up edge which can be created when slower cutting speeds are employed.

NUM (UK)'s NUMRoto Draw function for NumRoto grinding software now allows tool manufacturers to create dimensioned engineering drawings of machine tools showing their precise geometry. By producing cross-sectional views of a tool – at any position along its length – Draw can effectively automate production verification, explains NUM (UK). The drawings can also incorporate images obtained directly from 3D simulation of a tool, enabling even complex grinding details to be portrayed graphically and unambiguously.

Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal says its breakthrough detachable replacement head drilling technology allows up to five drill sizes to be accommodated by one drill body. Drill heads can also be selected to suit the machine type/power available and the material being processed. The company also says that the Sumitomo SMD Multi-Drill is able to achieve a level of hole tolerance normally only met using the reaming process with the added bonus of maintaining improved hole consistency and in-cut life.

Mapal has introduced what it believes to be the world's first automatic tester for cutting tools used in MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) applications. This means that users of MQL technology, which Mapal says typically reduces machining costs by 10% or more, can now test tools away from their machines.

Floyd Automatic Tooling is now offering the Zeus range of roll marking solutions and tools from German company Hommel & Keller. These enable workpieces to be marked directly on the turning centre. Zeus roll marking tools can be used with continuous rolling (like knurling) or a spring return systems. Both eliminate a secondary operation, consequential potential for inaccuracy and tool changeover time. They can also avoid batches getting mixed up.
