The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the precision and tolerances of micromachining processes.
Here are some insights into the extra care and know-how needed to achieve success and build a successful reputation as a reliable supplier of micro machined parts.
There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.
C-CUTTER BOY is designed to simplify your chamfering operations on manual bench-drilling machines. Its carbide support pads and carbide inserts provide long tool life. Three cutting edges make it an economical option.
As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.
ID boring is a common and time-consuming operation on CNC lathes. Common issues have led to the development of world-class boring tools—traditionally used on milling machines—that have proven to be just as effective on a CNC lathe.
Premium High-Speed Steel (HSS) micro cutting tools containing roughly 5% Cobalt for applications requiring a low-cost solution with the strength to withstand unusually high cutting forces.
