US precision machining faces new tooling and abrasives pressure

The precision machining is associated with spindle accuracy, thermal stability, software of machine tool and ability to maintain extreme tolerances. But what constraining factor do American ...
It’s easy to assume that not much has changed with face mills for a while. There’s been so much attention on other milling processes over the last few years, and face mills, or shell mills, were ...
Zimmermann’s improved FZU/FZP42 portal machines deliver dynamic 5-axis milling with thermo-symmetrical design for precision ...
The two basic cutting tool types used in metalworking are the single-point and multi-point designs. Fundamentally, they are similar. By grouping a number of single point tools in a circular holder, ...
To machine the gun bolt for a lever action rifle, a firearms manufacturer uses three tools simultaneously to reduce cycle time reductions. Because the bar stock becomes the fixture, no additional ...
