Boring tool performance depends greatly on the Length-to-Diameter (L:D) Ratio of the application. While this is a straightforward calculation, the Length and Diameter values to be used may not be that clear.

Just because you buy inexpensive tooling doesn’t mean you’re saving money. Invest in your tooling and experience the economy of quality.

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”.

NASCAR teams are very meticulous in what they do – always on the lookout for ways to be more productive in their machining processes to improve their cars.

The first challenge to machinability – beyond simply working in titanium – for Colorado-based Cogitic Corporation was securing the cylinder in the universal machining center. It was also important to maintain access to the through-hole, which has an internal square key slot perpendicular to the stem hole.

You don’t have to reorganize your shop, reinvent your processes or invest in expensive machinery to eliminate inefficiencies.

Tooling Today compiles technical topics, product insights, and tips and tricks for improving productivity and reducing scrap.

Enhance your machining skills by understanding when to use balanced cutting for precise straight holes and stepped cutting for efficient heavy cuts—ensuring smarter tool choices and project success.

Choosing the right tool for the job transforms results through higher productivity, consistent quality and greater profitability.

Machine shops of all shapes and sizes are facing more pressure than ever. While its primary purpose has traditionally been tool setup, tool presetters serve as both important tools and information hubs on the floor as technology advances.

Struggling to meet customer expectations, a small change made a big difference to one shop.

High-speed machining can dramatically boost productivity if your tooling and machine setups are up to the task.

Even the most well-planned boring process may not achieve the desired result. We’ve provided solutions to common rough boring problems to help get you back on the road to productivity.

No matter what, a new machine represents a significant cost in a manufacturing project. This investment can be compromised if it is not tooled up properly.

Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.
