Holemaking in steel and cast iron up to one inch in diameter is one of the most widely used metalworking processes. What is driving drilling and tapping performance are advances in substrate, coatings, three-flute designs, and combination tools. Just as important are advances in coolant delivery, using different size holes and shapes to facilitate chip evacuation.

New features mean more choices in cutting with inserts

On paper, it should have been smooth sailing. When Fairbanks Morse installed a robotic welding cell at its Beloit, Wis. headquarters, the goal was to increase output of the massive marine propulsion systems they manufacture.

Enterprise Florida, Inc. announced the launch of its Rural Expansion Toolkit offering grant opportunities directed to eligible rural communities across Florida to assist their economic engagement and capacity building efforts.

Paul Horn GmbH, Tübingen, Germany, has developed DDHM, its CVD diamond-tipped tool system for cost-effective drilling and countersinking operations in solid carbides and sintered ceramics with a hardness of up to 3,000 HV.

From the moment Norbert Kozar, CEO, took charge of Precision Swiss Products Inc. in 2007, he steered the Milpitas, Calif.-based job shop on a trajectory toward achieving both ISO 13485 certification and AS 9100 certification in a few short years.

Some trends in machining remain constant. Machine speeds continue to increase. Difficult-to-cut materials are used more frequently.
