Providing unsurpassed levels of stability and precision with exceptional tool life and surface quality, this innovative tool effectively removes chips with its through coolant system and chip redirector that prevents bird nesting and ensures a clean cutting area by rapidly removing swarf from the cutting area.

Horn has extended its circular interpolation system for slot milling to include tools for the production of narrower grooves.

Tooling manufacturer, Horn has introduced a new carbide insert grade, SG66, for turning components from steel that has been case hardened to 58 HRC.

Precisely secured to the through coolant toolholder via a 3-point precision clamping system, the three distinct insert geometries make the TinyInternalCut a versatile option for manufacturers. With the latest SH7025 PVD insert grade, the TinyInternalCut guarantees superior surface quality and process security, making it the ideal choice for internal machining small-diameter bores.

With a quick-change insert system, the TinyInternalCut is perfect for the modern sliding head machine shop and small turned part manufacturer. If you want to witness how this remarkable product can revolutionise your turning – you can buy a pack of 10 inserts and get a corresponding tool holder free of charge, but hurry as this offer ends soon.

Designed for CNC sliding head turning centres and cam-driven lathes, the DuoForceCut is an innovative range that is ideal for turning parts up to 12mm in diameter. With the ability to undertake parting-off, front and back turning, threading and grooving, the DuoForceCut can immediately reduce tooling inventory and maximise machining performance. As part of the 2024 promotional offer, Tungaloy-NTK UK is giving away a free toolholder when customers buy 10 inserts.

The toolholders are available in shank sizes from 6 by 6mm to 10 by 10mm to fit all compact turning centres and their common tool platten types and configurations. Furthermore, the free toolholder has a rigid and ground insert seat with an optimised clamping screw design that minimises movement, improves repeatability and creates a stable environment for high-quality precision machining whilst protecting unused cutting edges during machining.

With slim shank toolholders available from 8 by 8mm to 12 by 12mm, the MiniV-LockGroove is available as a toolholder with interchangeable inserts or as a modular head system with the corresponding ModuMini-Turn heads and shanks. Like the DuoForceCut, Tungaloy-NTK UK offers a vast selection of VGP insert grades for grooving and VGT inserts for threading applications in steel and stainless.

Tungaloy-NTK UK is giving the small turned parts industry a ‘shot-in-the-arm’ with a multitude of offers on its latest range of advanced turning technologies.

ANT Industries, a leading manufacturer of aero engine and gas turbine components in Atherstone, Warwickshire, has announced a significant milestone in its commitment to quality and excellence.

For machining intricate and detailed work, Tungaloy-NTK UK has introduced its MiniV-LockGroove range of high-precision grooving and threading tools. Perfect for sliding head and CNC turning centres, the MiniV-LockGroove delivers astounding performance in both grooving and threading with exceptional accuracy and reliability.

The result is prolonged unmanned operation with the confidence that the machine can be left unattended to maximise your profitability. To maximise your profitability even further, Tungaloy-NTK UK is now giving machine shops the opportunity to try this exciting new system with an offer to buy 10 inserts and receive a corresponding toolholder free of charge – make sure you take advantage of this limited-time offer now.

The exchangeable inserts are now offered in smaller cutting widths from 0.25mm to 1mm, depending on the diameter. Dependent also on tool diameter, the maximum milling depth is between 1.3mm and 14mm.

If you would like to have the confidence to run lights-out machining with exceptional productivity rates and astounding tool life, Tungaloy-NTK UK is offering manufacturers the opportunity to buy a pack of 10 inserts and get a free toolholder or buy 10 inserts and get one CHP toolholder or CHP head with an additional 50% discount.

Walter has now launched its new X·treme Evo Plus drill from the DC180 Supreme product family that is now available up to 8XD for the first time.

This performance is credited to a V-shaped insert pocket that securely clamps the insert whilst providing maximum machining clearance. With a secure V-shaped insert seat and high pressure through coolant nozzles directed to both the rake and face cutting edges, swarf evacuation, insert life and machining performance are all significantly improved.

The NeoMill-Alu-QBig indexable insert milling cutter from Mapal stands for top performance in high-volume milling of aluminium. The tool manufacturer thus offers a very economical solution for use on high-performance machines, such as those found primarily in the aerospace industry.

Completing the seasonal offer on small turning tools is the ‘ultimate’ series for internal grooving and thread turning in bores down to 5mm diameter – the TinyInternalCut. With a truly unique clamping system, the TinyInternalCut is available with a steel or carbide tool body for maximum rigidity and three insert geometries – the MGR for grooving, the MGR with full radius for profiling and undercutting as well as the MTR for threading.

The DuoForceCut is applicable for a wide range of applications with insert geometries and grades available for parting-off, front turning, back turning, threading, and grooving with insert groove widths from 0.5 to 1mm. Perfect for machining everything from low carbon steel to alloy steel, stainless, aluminium and copper alloys, titanium and superalloys with remarkable performance levels – isn’t it time you tried this exceptional offer?

Complementing the MiniV-LockGroove tools is the FaceMiniCut, the new benchmark in deep face grooving. Specifically developed for deep grooving applications, the FaceMiniCut can groove up to 10mm DAXN and 9mm deep. The impressive machining parameters are the combined result of an extremely rigid insert clamping system, inserts with a sharp cutting edge and optimised geometry with a ‘chip redirector’ and an advanced SH7025 PVD grade.

Inserts are available with different coatings to suit the material being machined. Due to its mass, the solid carbide tool shank ensures vibration damping throughout the milling process. All variants of tool shank have an internal coolant supply.

The circular milling system is fast, reliable, achieves good surface finish and offers users a host of advantages. During the process, the tool plunges into the material either at an angle or horizontally and may then be driven on a helical path. It means that threads, for example, can be manufactured to a high level of reproducible quality.
