Through direct CNC machining of molds and cores, this supplier of cast and machined parts skips the pattern-making step that would otherwise be fundamental to casting. The result is weeks of lead-time savings for complex parts that are needed in a hurry.

 This footage on a small drilling machining also includes machining with full-size tools in the same cycle.

Linear motors take the place of ballscrews on this machine performing high speed cutting of aluminum at a job shop near Atlanta.

An alternative to the typical profiler design, this machine saves labor by allowing chips to fall out of the way.

These animations show why an arc in the same direction as tool rotation is effective. The strategy is relevant for entering material from the edge, as well as for pocketing.

The video compares a milling pass that chatters to one that is stable. Because the stable speed permits greater depth of cut, productivity increases.

A tool with many flutes can be effective for achieving a productive metal removal rate in titanium, where speed and chip load are constrained. See how quickly the chips accumulate in this video.
