MSC Industrial Supply Co. UK (MSC) is celebrating a successful season after sponsoring two local youth football teams during the 2023/2024 campaign.

Alongside these MACH debutants, Guhring will introduce a multitude of favourites such as the RF100 Sharp, the ever-growing Diver Series of end mills and the RF100 Speed. The RF100 Sharp high-performance end mills made a MACH debut appearance in 2022 and will return in 2024 with an extended range to demonstrate how to address the issue of machining soft, tough and high-alloyed materials that create swarf evacuation issues.

The latest Iscar LogiQuick campaign has unveiled a diverse range of new cutting tools, effectively replenishing the company's portfolio.

The Starrag-Tornos Group recently welcomed guests to its 25th annual ‘Aerospace and Turbine Technology Days’ event hosted by Starrag in Switzerland.

MSC Industrial Supply Co. is significantly expanding its Hertel line of metalworking products. This expanded offering features a wide range of new tools, including material-specific turning insert grades, spotting drills, combined drill and countersink tools as well as additional solid carbide roughing end mills. In addition to these enhancements, a threading solution has been added to the company's proprietary cutoff and grooving system to help drive greater efficiencies.

• Added versions of workhorse M42 cobalt roughing end mills include new sizes, coatings and fine and coarse roughing geometries.

As part of the stand at MACH, Guhring will also be demonstrating its extensive PCD cutting tool portfolio.

The new RT100 InoxPro overcomes these challenges with its new geometry that optimises chip formation. This combined with an ultra-smooth Perrox coating enhances wear protection and an optimised carbide substrate that delivers the perfect balance of hardness and toughness.

Notably, Guhring will give a MACH show premiere to the new RT100 InoxPro range of high-performance solid carbide drills for machining stainless steel and titanium alloys. When machining these challenging materials, tool wear can be a formidable opponent to productivity and performance.

Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.

Stainless steels possess high strength, heat resistance, excellent workability and erosion resistance. Four general classes have been developed to cover a range of mechanical and physical properties for particular applications. The four classes are: the austenitic types of the chromium-nickel-manganese 200 series and the chromium-nickel 300 series; the martensitic types of the chromium, hardenable 400 series; the chromium, nonhardenable 400-series ferritic types; and the precipitation-hardening type of chromium-nickel alloys with additional elements that are hardenable by solution treating and aging.

• More than 250 new Hertel spotting drills and combined drill and countersink tools join the hole-making tool line. With 60ÌÜÅÁ, 90ÌÜÅÁ and 120ÌÜÅÁ point geometries, the HSS and cobalt tools can meet a wide range of application requirements.

As a result, this year’s exhibition is shaping up to be a must-attend for engineering and manufacturing professionals, offeri...

The milling portfolio from Guhring continues to expand rapidly. Since MACH 2022, the Birmingham manufacturer has added a wealth of innovations including the new SkyLiner series of end mills for rough and finish machining of aluminium and non-ferrous materials.

Especially suited for pocketing and wall applications with thin wall sections with depths up to 3 x D, the new Alu RF100 SkyLiner F delivers excellent surface finishes even at the highest feed rates.

Any manufacturing process in which metal is processed or machined such that the workpiece is given a new shape. Broadly defined, the term includes processes such as design and layout, heat-treating, material handling and inspection.

For the micro-machining sector, Guhring will showcase the RF100 Micro Diver. The micro-precision milling range is a universal tool for every material and application. Providing plunging and milling in a single tool, the RF100 Micro Diver is available in two variants, the 6808 and 6809. An innovative flute form further enhances rigidity and eliminates vibration. The series is suitable for cutting materials up to 48 HRC at depths up to 5 x D and is available with a cutting diameter from 0.79mm to 3.175mm.

• A threading solution adds to MSC's cut-off and grooving system, increasing its flexibility and effectiveness. The system incorporates various combinations of inserts, blades and monoblock tool holders that enable tooling to be exactly tailored to specific production needs. Customers can select from material-specific grades to drive the most productivity in various work piece materials.

The RF100 Sharp Series has an extremely smooth cutting action and high chip removal capability. This, and its ability to be used in a wide variety of applications such as slotting, ramping, roughing, helical milling, finishing and trochoidal cutting, make the new RF100 Sharp and end mill of choice when flexibility is required.

Available with 3 x D, 5 x D and 7 x D variants from 3 to 20mm diameter with 0.1mm increments, Guhring says this through coolant series will improve feed rates and tool life by more than 50% while improving process control and chip evacuation. The company will also present its Micro Precision Drills, the RT100T and RT100XF as well as firm favourites like the HR500 reaming line and SpyroTec spiral fluted chamfer milling cutters.

"We are constantly looking for opportunities to bring new solutions to market that will not only meet our customers' needs, but help them optimize their businesses," said Brian McGrath, MSC's Senior Product Manager for Hertel. "We recognized the need for more enhanced lines of Hertel tooling in response to our customers evolving needs. Hertel is synonymous with performance, increased productivity, cost control and profitability, and it was our goal to give them more selection to achieve their business goals."

Process of both external (e.g., thread milling) and internal (e.g., tapping, thread milling) cutting, turning and rolling of threads into particular material. Standardized specifications are available to determine the desired results of the threading process. Numerous thread-series designations are written for specific applications. Threading often is performed on a lathe. Specifications such as thread height are critical in determining the strength of the threads. The material used is taken into consideration in determining the expected results of any particular application for that threaded piece. In external threading, a calculated depth is required as well as a particular angle to the cut. To perform internal threading, the exact diameter to bore the hole is critical before threading. The threads are distinguished from one another by the amount of tolerance and/or allowance that is specified. See turning.

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.

As well as demonstrating all the latest ranges, Guhring engineers will be on hand at MACH to discuss the scope of special tooling solutions that can be designed, developed, manufactured and trialled at its facility in Birmingham. Guhring UK has a team of expert engineers that can create productivity, cost, inventory and cycle time savings for UK manufacturers.
