Carbide Burrs - Alpha Tools - double cut carbide burr

Steel (ISO P) is a complex material and it’s only getting more complex. In a competitive market it is essential to keep progressing and find ways that can make your steel turning operations more efficient and productive.

It is known that REDD+ is based on the right to benefit from (or be compensated for) the reduction of forest-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, whether through RBPs, carbon market transactions, or a combination of the two. However, in some cases it is not clear who can claim this right, or whether the right to REDD+ results and payments should be associated with the right to carbon. This lack of clarity raises several legal questions, including how to define and allocate carbon rights or transfer ER titles under REDD+ programmes.

VariMill III ER is true finishing endmill for higher metal removal rates, longer tool life, and improved surface finishes in demanding workpiece materials such as titaniums and stainless steels.

·        Leif John Fosse, Senior Adviser, Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative at Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment

Organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) within the framework of the UN-REDD Programme, this webinar offered a unique platform to share experiences and insights to the nature and allocation of carbon rights, as well as the legal entitlements associated with REDD+ outcomes.

“OEMs and tier suppliers in the aerospace and energy segments who regularly face working in high-strength, low-weight titaniums and stainless steels will want to see how the VariMill III ER together with the new WIDIA Victory Grade WS15PE can improve performance,” says Ron West, WIDIA product manager.

A newly developed coating and proprietary pre- and post-coat treatment significantly improves cutting edge consistency. Consistent cutting edges mean higher metal-removal rates, longer tool life, and improved workpiece surface finishes in expensive demanding materials. The tool is designed to be a true finishing endmill with the ability to take up to 30% radial engagement.

The webinar featured numerous international and country experts who contributed substantially to the development of the study. During the event, they shared their views and showcase country efforts in progressing on the subject.

Comparative study of carbon rights in the context of jurisdictional REDD+ - Case studies from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean

The REDD+ framework encourages countries to reduce deforestation and degradation by offering financial rewards or results-based payments (RBPs) for verified emission reductions (ERs) – all while promoting sustainable development.

With a new seven-flute, eccentric relief (ER) design, the newest addition to the WIDIA VariMill family, the VariMill III ER solid-carbide end mill, is engineered for higher metal removal, longer tool life, and improved surface finishes in demanding workpiece materials such as titaniums and stainless steels.

As part of the webinar, “Comparative study of carbon rights in the context of jurisdictional REDD+  - Case studies from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin-America and the Caribbean” was launched. To conduct this study, legislation from more than 20 countries across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America was reviewed between November 2021 and June 2023.

Demanding markets such as aerospace and energy are defined by the need for increased efficiency. In response, WIDIA is offering the VariMill III ER in a full line of options,including two, three, and five times diameter length-of-cut and all common aerospace radii and chamfered corners, metric and inch. With more and more additive layer manufacturing in the aerospace field, the trend going forward will be from roughing to semi-finishing and finishing operations, perfect for the increased efficiencies VariMill III ER provides. VariMill III ER end mills also come standard with the SAFE-LOCK option by Haimer, eliminating pull-out risk, and making the tool assembly more stable and concentric, which in turn increases surface finish and tool life.

This webinar is organized by FAO within the framework of the UN-REDD Programme and is made possible by the support of the European Commission and the governments of Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, and Switzerland.

Moreover, VariMill solid-carbide end mills are available through NOVO, WIDIA’s digital process knowledge application. With powerful process knowledge available on iPad and other digital devices, NOVO helps users define machining features, such as ramping or slotting in specific work materials, and then immediately reduces the product set to those like VariMill that can do the job. This provides far more useful process knowledge than any online catalog alone, all obtained in a fraction of the time.

“This also means VariMill III ER customers can use high-speed machining techniques such as peel milling or trochoidal machining in high-strength alloys,” West adds.

While the existence of various international RBPs and carbon market schemes valuing ERs presents multiple opportunities for countries participating in REDD+, there is a critical need to clarify ER rights and determine who benefits from REDD+ results.
