MMS Online Launches Newly Expanded High Speed Machining Zone

High speed machining means different things in different contexts. In all cases, though, it entails unlocking the potential for high metal removal rates in CNC milling. Ironically, achieving this end doesn’t always involve speed.

In applications involving aircraft components and other parts hogged out of a single block of metal, high speed machining focuses on chatter—specifically, avoiding chatter by milling at the machine’s sweet spot.

Complementary Technologies Make MQL More Accessible

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) does not necessarily lie on a straight line between dry machining and “wet” machining with flood coolant. The commonly held view that MQL is a compromise between these two approaches is a misperception because MQL is different from both. In fact, in the right applications, MQL is better than both.

When to Mill Keeps Changing

For mold and die makers, the idea of producing complex parts through high speed machining as an alternative to EDM is nothing new.

Or is it?

At D1 Mold & Tool, a maker of die cast dies in Daleville, Indiana, the application of fast, light milling passes on high speed machining centers keeps on becoming new. Capability improvements push back the barriers of this machining. It has happened again and again. MORE
