Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.
The Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill delivers up to three times longer tool life, three times higher coolant-through output and three times faster drilling.
The Posicut drill is an excellent choice when a high-quality, low-cost solution is necessary. Reduces deflection and vibration while increasing tool life.
Milling is a core operation in all kinds of manufacturing environments. Here are five different types of milling holders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. We’re here to help you choose with a breakdown and tips for using each.
