If you’re looking for ways to improve productivity with micro cutting tools, here’s what you need to know.

Sphinx product manager, Cory Cetkovic, once again took to the pages of Fabricating & Metalworking magazine to share some useful knowledge about micro machining practices, a challenging yet profitable and growing sector of metalworking.

Reporting on Sphinx product manager, Cory Cetkovic’s presentation at our annual Breakfast & Learn event earlier this year, Production Machining recently published a column called “Tools and Technologies for Deep Hole Drilling.”

It’s hard to visualize .03mm; it’s smaller than a hair on your head.  It’s even more difficult to fathom drills that size with smooth flutes and well-planned geometries.

In the latest edition of their Medical Manufacturing Yearbook, Manufacturing Engineering featured an article by our very own VP of Sales and Engineering, Jack Burley.

The advances in multi-axis machining in recent years have unlocked the creativity of machine shop engineers and operators.

There are many advantages to turning (pun intended) to an underutilized operation that virtually every machining center is capable of: OD turning — otherwise known as “outer diameter turning”, “pin turning”, or “boss milling”.

Did you catch the May issue of Shop Metalworking Technology? The magazine profiled one of our customers, BC Instruments, Schomberg, ON, that recently dealt with an urgent prototyping adjustment.

Precisely ground micro drills, especially those that are made of tough, nano-grade carbide and are small enough to drill accurately through a single hair follicle, aren’t exactly a dime a dozen.

If precision in manufacturing is a matter of optimizing a process to get the best possible results, then we can only truly be precise when we have ample choice in tools.
