Cutting Tools
This category comprises tools that are used to remove material from a workpiece through shear deformation. Cutting tools are manufactured as single-point tools or multiple-point tools. Single-point tools cutting tools are commonly used for shaping, planing, turning, and similar tasks that require only a single cutting edge. Multiple-point cutting tools incorporate a number of teeth or other cutting edges, that can simultaneously remove material in a single pass. Examples of cutting tools include drills, reamers, planers, saws, grinders, shapers, taps and dies, and fly cutters.
How to Scale Up Fast With Flexible Production Strategies
With the right tools and CAM software, toolmakers and mold makers can keep production capacity flexible and will be able to ramp it up by up to 85% as they restart after the coronavirus outbreak. Hoffmann Group USA’s director of milling explains.

Monaghan Tooling put a new spin on rush order when their distributor’s customer required a specialized burnishing tool for a ventilator component – deeply motivated team collaboration took the job from PO to machining floor in under 24 hours. Engineers determined that a flat-face, multi-roller burnishing tool was the ideal way to achieve the necessary fine micro-finish.
Considering where a standard item’s functionality ends, there are endless possibilities. Yet even when budgets, and in some cases physics, get in the way, the only true limit is one’s imagination.
By retaining their hardness at the high temperatures generated by machining heat-resistant super alloys, these ceramic cutting tools achieve much greater speeds over solid-carbide tools for higher productivity that reduces cost per part.
Digital tools are already here in the form of DROs and one-way communications to mobile devices, but that’s only the beginning. Get ready for some exciting breakthroughs in automation that promise higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap.
Ceratizit offers the first standard FreeTurn indexable inserts for its high dynamic turning (HDT) system. The system greatly enhances the productivity of a single milling machine by combining multiple-propertied inserts with variable approach angles.
Seco Tools’ Duratomic TM grades has thermal and mechanical properties as well as chrome-colored Used-Edge Detection technology to minimize waste. With new geometries and chipbreakers, three grades are tailored for distinct application demands.
Dormer Pramet has grouped an array of drills, taps, dies, reamers, end mills and rotary burrs for MRO applications. The program makes it easy to select the right tool for the material and operating conditions and includes some of their most popular drills.
