High-feed milling is possible due to the effect of chip thinning resulting from the shallow lead angle of the cutter – typically 10 to 25 degrees. The smaller the lead angle, the more the feed can be ...

“Any time you can increase speeds, seal quality and seal accuracy, while also reducing material scrap and tooling costs, it’s a win, win, win,” said Jim Lassiter, Sonoco segment vice president, Global ...

In today’s highly competitive global landscape, manufacturers face an extraordinary demand to produce high-quality parts and be highly productive and efficient, often with fewer resources. In the past ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

Grinding, or abrasive machining, once performed on conventional milling machines, lathes and shapers, are now performed on various types of grinding machines. Grinding machines have advanced in design ...

With a 24-inch cutting width, the venture is aimed at those who need to cut a lot of material very quickly. James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s.
