PITTSBURGH, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kennametal has expanded its Innovations series of Metal Cutting tools and solutions with new product offerings that provide customers with maximum efficiency and productivity for machining applications ranging from electric vehicles and aerospace to general engineering.

Each product in the fall launch delivers enhanced features and superior performance that solve some of customers' toughest machining challenges:

Tudor created a special ceramic version of the Black Bay — in partnership with the Formula One Visa Cash App Red Bull racing team.

Though created for a racing team, this is still a dive watch through and through, and in addition to the dive bezel the Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” features a 200-meter depth rating, a screw-down winding crown in black-PVD-treated 316L steel, a box-type domed sapphire crystal on the front, and a screw-in open caseback in black-PVD-treated 316L steel with a sapphire crystal.

In line with the innovative technology used in Formula One racing, Tudor’s cutting-edge automatic bidirectional winding caliber MT5602-1U is not just COSC-certified, it’s also fully Metas certified as a Master Chronometer and is adjusted to a rate of -2/+4 after being cased up. The 25-jewel, 31.8 mm x 6.5 mm movement beats at 4Hz, has stop seconds for precision time setting, a non-magnetic silicon balance spring, and a variable inertia balance. In addition, the certification also guarantees the timekeeping accuracy of a watch subjected to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss, the 200-meter water resistance rating claimed by the manufacturer, and the 70-hour power reserve.

When it comes to high-performance reaming in steel and cast iron, the new KenReam™ S delivers the highest metal removal rates in blind and through-hole applications for both steel and cast iron. The unique design provides excellent process reliability and consistent hole quality.

The revolutionary Duo-Lock™ modular system for solid carbide end milling applications combines a high accuracy in runout and length repeatability with maximum stability, making it a precise and virtually unbreakable interface. The series integrates the productivity of the HARVI™ I TE end mill series with the modular capability of the Duo-Lock modular system.

New and enhanced products expand metal cutting capabilities and help customers machine better than ever

The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” (Ref. 79210CNU-0007) comes with a tapered 22 mm lug width hybrid leather and rubber strap with exclusive blue stitching and folding clasp in black PVD-treated 316L steel and a complimentary 22 mm non-tapered black fabric strap with blue band and black PVD-treated 316L steel buckle. Retail is $5,150.

The 2024 Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” is presented in a 41 mm x 14.4 mm matte black ceramic case with a micro-blasted finish and monobloc middle case.

For light to medium machining or roughing of steel and stainless steel, the Dodeka™ Mini 45 face milling platform has expanded to include four new geometries which provide ideal lead angles, excellent chip formation, and positive chatter-free insert geometries.

Highlighted by a Red Bull-racing inspired blue domed dial — PVD-treated applied indices, and matching hands (hour, minute, and center second), contrast the bright blue hue of the clutter-free no-date dial. A unidirectional rotatable 60-minute bezel in black PVD-treated 316L steel with a 60-minute graduated black ceramic insert with a sunburst satin finish and engraved markings and numerals complete the stealthy look.

Designed for dynamic milling with low radial engagement and full length of the cut, the KOR™ series has expanded to include a 5xD length of cut in the KOR™ 5DA series for milling in aluminum.

The KenTIP™ FS modular drill platform has expanded to include straight-flute drills for static applications on lathes and straight-flute drills for combined drilling and countersinking applications with holders. Additionally, the platform now includes the versatile KenTIP FS GTP insert with the GOdrill™ point design. The GOtip is the only insert in the KenTIP FS platform built for multi-material drilling and is ideal for customers looking for one tool to run in multiple workpieces when drilling medium and large hole diameters.

Solid carbide drills have been modernized in the high-performance Kenna Universal™ Drill platform. The upgraded drills include the B979 series with grade KCU15A for 12xD drilling which can be used without a pilot drill in multiple materials. Additionally, the platform has added the B73* series step drills with grade KCU15 for core-holes in traditional tap sizes.
