Gühring has launched a new range of milling cutters especially for mould

Hundreds of British manufacturing companies opened their doors in a UK-wide open house today as part of National Manufacturing Day, giving their local communities the chance to see the highly paid careers and jobs on offer in our exciting and diverse sector.

Haas Automation explains the selection process for turning 4130 steel, including choosing two roughing inserts and a finishing insert for doing outer diameter (OD) turning.

Coalville, Leicestershire-based CMS Cepcor is a leading supplier of aftermarket crusher spares, manganese-steel wear liners and other equipment for the mining, aggregate production and associated industries worldwide.

The Haas YouTube channel discusses insert grades and chip breakers, as well as cutting speeds and depths of cut.

Walter has reached an agreement to acquire the Melin Tool Co., a privately owned, Cleveland-based company and manufacturer of solid-carbide and HSS end mills, drills and countersinks. Melin is a growing company, supported by innovations in the solid-carbide endmill product family making the acquisition a strategic fit to increase Walter’s milling business in North America.

Available in two major types: tungsten high-speed steels (designated by letter T having tungsten as the principal alloying element) and molybdenum high-speed steels (designated by letter M having molybdenum as the principal alloying element). The type T high-speed steels containing cobalt have higher wear resistance and greater red (hot) hardness, withstanding cutting temperature up to 1,100º F (590º C). The type T steels are used to fabricate metalcutting tools (milling cutters, drills, reamers and taps), woodworking tools, various types of punches and dies, ball and roller bearings. The type M steels are used for cutting tools and various types of dies.

Introduced to the UK in the spring, the new Sodick UX450L high-end machining centre from Sodi-Tech UK has already made a major impact on manufacturers since it landed on the UK shores.

“The acquisition is aligned with our focus on expanding our milling business in round tools and reconditioning capabilities close to customers in the American market,” said Richard Harris, president of Walter. “I am very pleased that we have reached an agreement to acquire Melin Tool Co. as it increases our market presence and has a strong innovation focus and high service level that is aligned with Walter’s approach to doing business.”

Melin Tool Company is a provider of high-quality round tools. The company’s offer is focused in solid carbide end mills, drills and countersinks to the aerospace and medical industries. Its headquarters is located in Cleveland, OH, with an additional warehouse in California. The company has approximately 100 employees.

Milling cutter held by its shank that cuts on its periphery and, if so configured, on its free end. Takes a variety of shapes (single- and double-end, roughing, ballnose and cup-end) and sizes (stub, medium, long and extra-long). Also comes with differing numbers of flutes.

Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.

A South West-based engineering team is aiming to transform the large-format additive manufacturing sector with the launch of its latest product.

The U.S. is a key market for Walter and the acquisition strengthens the company’s round tool offering, especially in the aerospace industry and with the channel partner market. The acquisition gives Walter customers access to advanced cutting tool solutions and responsive support. A stronger presence in the U.S. allows Walter to grow its product line with local market requirements and to improve market support with customized tooling solutions.
