Making Music while Making Chips
Machinists are creative people. So why should it surprise us that they are musically inclined?

Grade Reduces Machining Times in Steel and Cast Iron
The company offers the Tiger▪tecSilver to its entire flagship milling families.Suited for milling steel and cast iron, the WKP35S grade uses a CVD technology that provides the hardness (wear resistance) of CVD grades and the toughness (crack resistance) formerly realized only in PVD grades.

See The Tool's Value Instead Of Its Cost
This company is embracing high-performance tooling on its turning centers. The "sticker shock" is no reason not to do this. In one case, though, the shop found a way to limit the cost of the tool and increase productivity at the same time.

Thread Milling On A Tiny Scale
Machining internal threads in difficult materials is challenging, especially when hole diameters are small. Thread milling offers advantages for these applications that are important to consider.

Insert Provides Long Life, Short Cycle Times
Novatek, a manufacturer of diamond products used in the oil and gas, mining, construction and other industries, needed to reduce both costs and production time on a job involving very large workpieces. The Tiger-Tec black and gold WPP10 insert from Walter USA, which features an aluminum oxide coating designed to prolong tool life at high surface footages, helped the company increase feeds and speeds and create smaller, more manageable chips.

Modular Design Enables Precision Boring Over Large Diameter Range
The B4035 boring head features an optoelectronic adjustment measuring system and digital display with 0.0001" accuracy in the diameter range of 0.118" to 4.882" (3 to 124 mm). Maintenance-free automatic balance compensation and flexible screw fit connections make this tool suitable for virtually all spindle adaptat

Cutting Tool Manufacturer Helps Growing Shop Improve Efficiency
While nearly always desirable, growth can bring its own set of challenges. A case in point is Tri-K Machining, a shop that is seemingly on the fast track to success. Business has increased by more than 300 percent during the past 12 months. However, management soon realized that keeping up with this added work
