In conclusion, the Picatinny rail is a widely used platform that provides a standardized way to mount accessories on firearms. The rails are durable and reliable, and they are a popular choice for military and law enforcement use. However, the rails are also relatively expensive, difficult to install, and heavy, which can be drawbacks for some users. Regardless, the Picatinny rail remains a popular platform for those who need to mount accessories on their firearms.

• Gather tools:You will need a screwdriver or power drill, screw bits, and any other tools specified in the rail's installation instructions.• Clean the surface: Clean the surface where the rail will be attached to remove any dirt, grease, or oil that could affect the rail's adhesion. • Align the rail:Place the rail in the desired position and make sure it is aligned with the firearm.• Secure the rail: Secure the rail to the firearm using screws or other fasteners specified in the rail's installation instructions. • Tighten the screws or fasteners until the rail is firmly attached to the firearm. • Test the rail:Once the rail is installed, test it to make sure it is securely attached to the firearm and that it can hold accessories without wobbling. • Attach accessories: Attach any desired accessories to the Picatinny rail using the appropriate locking mechanism.

Trochoidal turning (also known by the trade names Dynamic Turning and VoluTurn) can be done with ISO-standard round inserts, but it’s more effective when the insert has a rail interface for graduated indexing, as with the company’s CoroTurn 107 RCMT.

Picatinny rails are a type of mounting platform that are widely used in the firearms industry to attach accessories such as scopes, lasers, and bipods to firearms. The rails were first designed in the late 1980s as a standardized platform that could be used to mount accessories on a wide range of firearms. The design was named after the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey where the design was first developed.

“We’re also seeing great success with our PrimeTurning offering, which uses a similar chip-thinning strategy, as well as the eight-sided CoroTurn 800,” Winter says. “Yes, these solutions require some changes to your turning strategy but are well worth the time investment for shops that are working with difficult materials or looking for ways to leapfrog their competition.”

But considering that a new toolholder and box of inserts sell for a few hundred bucks or so, it’s a small price to pay for the potential benefits.

Picatinny rails are typically made from aluminum, steel, or a combination of both.  •  Aluminum rails are lighter and less expensive than steel rails, but they are also less durable and may not be suitable for heavy use.  •  Steel rails are more durable and can withstand heavy use, but they are also heavier and more expensive.  •  Some manufacturers also offer rails made from other materials, such as polymer, but these are not as common as aluminum or steel rails.

Sandvik Coromant is not alone. Abhay Chaubal, product manager for the Americas at Seco Tools, is quick to point out that the company’s MF2 chipbreaker and RCMT insert solve the all-too-common chip control problem encountered when using round inserts.

“One of the drawbacks of ISO standard tools is that they typically rely on a top clamp, eccentric screw or some combination of the two to hold the insert in place,” says Robert Navarrete, national product specialist for parting, grooving and turning. “Yet these can allow a microscopic amount of insert lift, leading to vibration and reduced tool life. A dovetail-style geometry and on-edge clamping system eliminate this by taking pressure off the screw and redirecting it into the pocket.”

For most turning operations, though, indexable carbide tools make machine setups both faster and easier while significantly reducing the downtime associated with tool changes. Which still leaves one problem: deciding which insert is right for the job.

Like Winter, he encourages shops to explore alternative toolpaths, with ISO inserts or otherwise. He also notes that recent innovations in toolholding can bring significant results.

Hitting a home run might require thinking outside the ISO box, he says. “If you’re striving for consistent 15 percent to 25 percent increases in productivity, you should look at changing your whole process. Using trochoidal toolpaths during roughing operations is one such approach.”

“Proper insert selection depends on many factors,” says John Winter, a turning product specialist at Sandvik Coromant. “Workpiece material and geometry are high on the list, but choosing an insert with adequate edge line security for the operation—a tool that can handle interrupted cuts, for instance—is equally important.”

A good place to start is by learning the ISO 1832 standard, which, according to the International Organization for Standardization, “establishes a code for the designation of the usual types of indexable inserts for cutting tools in hard cutting materials or any other cutting materials, in order to simplify orders and specifications for such inserts.”

“The flip side of the FIX8 is that you can take much heavier cuts than with a WNMG- or CNMG-style rougher, and do so even on lighter-duty machines,” he says. “And since you have eight cutting edges to work with, the cost per part is generally lower as well.”

I'm currently up for two dream jobs both of which allow me to do both machining and engineering (score). BUT they use nothing but metric.

1. The little chip particles and dust will cause jamming in the oil hold. A fine mesh filter should be used to prevent such jamming, especially for small-diameter drills.

While the Picatinny rail is a popular platform, it does have a few drawbacks. Firstly, the rails can be expensive to manufacture, which makes them more expensive than other mounting platforms. Secondly, the Picatinny rail can be difficult to install, as it requires precise measurements and careful alignment. Finally, the Picatinny rail is relatively heavy, which can add weight to the firearm and affect its handling and balance.

Peruse a supplier’s tooling catalog or website and you’ll quickly find an overwhelming variety of indexable tooling. Profiling tools, groovers and threaders, boring inserts, indexable and modular drills, cutoff tools—there’s no shortage of high-quality turning tools out there, all designed to make lathe turning operations more profitable and part quality more consistent.

Navarrete is talking about Iscar’s HELITURN line of tangentially clamped turning tools. As he explains, these offer greater stability in the pocket, not only improving tool life and surface quality but also significantly increasing the tool’s metal removal capabilities. “It also provides much better predictability, an attribute that’s particularly relevant to shops that wish to run lights-out,” he says.

“If we see that a shop can enjoy a 20 percent improvement in either tool life or productivity, we’re happy to present that to them in a written pre-sales test report and then prove it to them on the production floor,” Navarrete says. “Return on investment is generally quite fast when adopting a new tooling technology like this, with some customers saving tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s pretty much a no-brainer.”

Indexable tools make machine setups faster and easier while significantly reducing the downtime associated with tool changes, but choosing the best insert can be tricky. Here’s what you need to know.

Picatinny rails have been the standard for mounting accessories on firearms for many years, but there are several alternatives available for those looking for different options. These alternatives offer different advantages, disadvantages, and compatibility options, depending on the specific needs of the shooter. •  KeyMod Rails: KeyMod rails offer a lighter and more streamlined option compared to Picatinny rails. They feature keyholes rather than slots, allowing for a more modular and customizable mounting system. However, not all accessories are compatible with KeyMod rails. • M-LOK Rails: M-LOK rails are similar to KeyMod rails, offering a more modular and customizable mounting system. However, M-LOK rails feature slots rather than keyholes, providing a more secure mounting option for accessories. Like KeyMod rails, not all accessories are compatible with M-LOK rails.

• Weaver Rails: Weaver rails are a older option that predates Picatinny rails and offer a more limited range of compatibility with accessories. They feature a two-slot design and are typically found on older firearms or budget-friendly options. • Dovetail Rails: Dovetail rails are a traditional option for mounting accessories and are commonly found on shotguns and rifles. They feature a tapered design that allows accessories to be mounted by sliding them onto the rail and locking them in place. However, the limited range of compatibility with accessories can be a drawback. When choosing a rail system, it is important to consider the specific needs and preferences of the shooter, as well as the compatibility with existing accessories. Some accessories may only be compatible with Picatinny rails, while others may be compatible with multiple rail systems. It is recommended to carefully research and compare the various rail options before making a final decision.

There’s just one caveat, though, and it applies to each of the proprietary solutions described here and elsewhere: Machine shops must invest in new toolholders, followed by reprogramming and process optimization.

2. Dirt and dust particles will adhere to the oil hold and lead to unsmooth coolant flow. Coolant change as early as possible is recommended.

Picatinny rails consist of a series of raised ridges that run parallel to the barrel of the firearm. These ridges have a uniform spacing and height, which allows accessories to be easily attached and locked into place. The rails are typically mounted onto the firearm using screws or other fasteners, and the accessories are attached using clamps or other locking mechanisms. The design of the Picatinny rail allows for accessories to be quickly and easily mounted or removed, which makes it a popular choice for military and law enforcement use.

Keeping an assortment of brazed carbide tool bits and solid carbide rounds in the tool crib is probably a good idea. You never know when you may need to hand-grind a special tool for an oddly shaped part or hard-to-reach area.

The Picatinny rail was first developed by the US military in the late 1980s as a way to standardize the mounting of accessories on firearms. Prior to the development of the Picatinny rail, there was no standard platform for mounting accessories on firearms, which meant that each manufacturer had to design their own mounting system. This made it difficult to use accessories from one manufacturer on firearms from another, and it also meant that accessories could only be used on a limited number of firearms. The Picatinny rail was designed to solve these problems by providing a standard platform that could be used by all manufacturers, and that could be used to mount a wide range of accessories.

Winter and the other experts are happy to help customers decode the ISO standard and find the optimal insert for a given application, but as Winter points out, even the perfect grade, shape and coating will often bring only small gains.

Unfortunately, you’ll also find it chock-full of exceptions. In their ongoing effort to address the machining world’s ever-evolving landscape, cutting tool manufacturers continue to develop novel, often proprietary solutions that don’t fit neatly into any standardized set of guidelines.

“That’s one of the reasons why we’ve begun marking our inserts with QR codes, which allow the user to scan the code with a smartphone and pull up the product page showing the correct cutting parameters for the material you’re currently turning,” McCord says. “They also provide traceability back to the manufacturing process in case of a problem and make it easier to dispense individual inserts from a vending machine. As with many of our customers, Seco Tools is very focused on continuous improvement, and this is just one more example of that.”

“There’s a lot to consider during insert selection,” says Robert Keilmann, marketing portfolio manager at the company. “ISO turning tools are suitable for a great many applications, but given the huge variety of parts and materials in this landscape, not to mention the evolution of CNC machine tools, we’ve found it necessary to develop turning tools that provide effective chip formation and extended tool life on lower-horsepower machinery. Our FIX8 line does exactly that.”

Iscar USA, a member of the IMC Group, is another cutting tool manufacturer pursuing continuous improvement opportunities for its customers, which is why the company isn’t afraid of setting aside the ISO 1832 standard when it makes sense.

While choosing the right turning insert and toolholding system is critical, so is proper process development, says Seco Tools Indexable Product Specialist Jay McCord. Too often, shops don’t follow the manufacturer’s feed and speed recommendations and fail to use a scientific approach to troubleshooting, including documenting one change at a time.
