With his all-action, take no prisoners approach, Ball, one of the most exciting fighters in Britain today, has become a fan favorite over the last 18 months or so.

The tribological conditions during gun drilling between the guide pad surfaces and the wall of the hole being drilled are far more severe than those during other applications. To ease this harsh condition and maximize guide pad life, it is crucial to use cutting fluids with high lubricity in order to prevent dry rubbing and seizure at the burnishing contact areas. For these reasons, straight cutting oils have long been preferred among manufacturers in gundrilling operations for its high lubricity. However, in today’s environmental conscious machining, the call for eco-friendly water emulsifiable oils, more commonly known as soluble oils, are increasing over conventional petroleum-based coolants. These soluble oils have lower lubricity than straight oils and can adversely affect the guide pad quality during gundrilling.

To meet this challenge, Tungaloy has expanded its DeepTri-Drill guide pad options to include the FH3135 grade. Guide pad rupture is primarily induced by an increase in density of thermally-induced microcracks generated on the substrate due to poor lubricity and thermal capacity when machined with soluble oils. The dedicated carbide substrate of the FH3135 guide pad provides enhanced resistance to fracture and thermal crack, significantly reducing the risk of guide pad breakages. In addition, the new guide pad features a double-chamfer geometry on the corners of both ends assisting a smooth entry into the guide bushing or pilot hole, inherent when machining on dedicated gundrilling machines. This reduces vibrant impact on the guide pads and the risk of rupture.

At the final bell, it was obvious who had won, even if Dogboe remained a threat and Ball's nose did bleed. Ball will probably have to wait until till 2024 to get a shot at the WBC title despite him sitting as the mandatory competitor now.

“I’m feeling good, it was a good performance from myself. I had to keep my cool in there and control the fight,” said Ball in media reports.

Cylindrical sleeve, typically made from high-grade tool steel, inserted into a jig fixture to guide cutting tools. There are three main types: renewable, used in liners that in turn are installed in the jig; press-fit, installed directly in the jig for short production runs; and liner (or master), installed permanently in a jig to receive renewable bushing.

“If Ball doesn’t get his shot at the WBC belt next, it will be the fight after that, and that we’ll make sure it’s over here in the United Kingdom,” said promoter Frank Warren.

“I feel like I’ve just controlled that fight at world level. I’ve just put myself in position (to fight for a world title),” he added.

The bout was a WBC final eliminator for the title that Rey Vargas held. Although he did battle at 130 pounds earlier this year against O'Shaquie Foster, Vargas hasn't defended the title since defeating Mark Magsayo in July 2022.

Finishing method by means of compressing or cold-working the workpiece surface with carbide rollers called burnishing rolls or burnishers.

Ball(19-0, 11 KOs)  was caught by Dogboe at the end of the ninth round when he had to take some hard shots. Even though the fight had not yet ended, Ball was still full of fire.

DeepTri-Drill is a successful line of indexable insert gun drills that provides productivity and application security for drilling deep holes, while ensuring easy tool management by eliminating the need for regrinding. The drill line now offers a new FH3135-grade guide pad that was developed specifically to enhance thermal crack resistance when machining with water emulsifiable oils.

Dogboe put Ball's body to the test with some hard shots as he knew when and how to tuck up when necessary. By the ninth round, Dogboe appeared exhausted, but he persevered.

Replaceable tool that clamps into a tool body, drill, mill or other cutter body designed to accommodate inserts. Most inserts are made of cemented carbide. Often they are coated with a hard material. Other insert materials are ceramic, cermet, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride and polycrystalline diamond. The insert is used until dull, then indexed, or turned, to expose a fresh cutting edge. When the entire insert is dull, it is usually discarded. Some inserts can be resharpened.

Drilling process using a self-guiding tool to produce deep, precise holes. High-pressure coolant is fed to the cutting area, usually through the gundrill’s shank.

MANCHESTER, England — Following his unanimous decision victory against Isaac Dogboe in Manchester, Nick Ball, 26, is now eligible to compete for the WBC featherweight title.

Isaac Dogboe(24-4, 15 KO)  was competitive in most of the rounds and was threatening the entire time, but Ball who mainly controlled the bout, was the better man and won, solidifying his ranking as one of the top 10 fighters at 126.
