Everyone wants to reduce cycle times, but simply machining faster isn’t necessarily the answer. If high speed milling comes at the cost of reduced tool life and surface finish, the minutes gained ...

A close view of high-feed milling in process. Ingersoll’s high-feed Powerfeed Plus tool feeds faster and cuts lighter, to accelerate metal removal and protect Wemco’s light-frame CNC machines.

Five practical aerospace milling strategies to improve stability, surface integrity, and tool life when machining HRSAs, titanium, and high-nickel alloys.

Getting parts out the door efficiently and affordably is a productivity requirement that has remained constant for mold and die producers. In order to remove a significant amount of metal during ...

High-feed milling is possible due to the effect of chip thinning resulting from the shallow lead angle of the cutter – typically 10 to 25 degrees. The smaller the lead angle, the more the feed can be ...

Cowl arm production begins with machining a bore 4.5-in. deep and from 25-in. to 36-in. inside diameter. Ace Precision Industries of Akron, Ohio, produces several variations of small components for ...

To promote the new Xtra·tec S3 milling cutter series, Phillip Smith, product manager rotating indexable at Walter AG, who’s ...
