Learn how CNC grinding processes produce high-precision indexable inserts, including periphery grinding, automation strategies, and tooling geometry.

Inserts are classified as two general types: those held in place by external threads and those that use some means other than threads (knurls, grooves, interference fit) for their holding power.

ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING, a manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools, launched the T-A Pro M geometry insert for stainless steel and heat-resistant super alloy (HRSA) materials.

For high-volume jobs, it’s easy to justify the cost of an automated pin inserter. Automation improves consistency of installation and efficiency while cutting costs and scrap. But for lowvolume tasks, ...

ALLIED MACHINE AND ENGINEERING has expanded its T-A Pro high-penetration drilling system. The “X” geometry, super cobalt insert works as a drill-everything insert while significantly lowering the risk ...

Injection-moulded plastic throttle body adaptors have two main advantages over their older aluminium sand-cast counterparts. Not only are they much lighter, they are also cheaper, since no secondary ...
