GDP|GUHDO Tooling for Flip-Flops? A customer recently came to us with an unusual tooling need. He wanted Tooling for Flip-Flops to route out of foam on his CNC machine. We decided an O-Flute solid carbide bit would probably do the trick and sure enough, it worked out well for him as you can see in […]

Disposable Inserts Help Reduce Machine Downtime Disposable inserts can reduce grinding costs and minimize machining downtime. The evolution of cutting tools has progressed from being quite labor-intense to heavily relying on machines and automated processes. With these efficiencies, it is now more important than ever to keep down set-up times and adjustment times in order to minimize […]

Clamping Systems Clamping Systems are a decisive link between a tool and the machine spindle. Tool life and attainable work piece quality, but also safety are significantly influenced by clamping systems. Ideally the clamping system should be: of low weight of low imbalance compliant with the norm made of high quality steel Clamping technology assumes […]

Cutting Lightweight/Honeycomb Panels Honeycomb panels are used in the aerospace, marine, transportation, automotive and wind energy industries due to their light weight, strength, rigidity and stability. A variety of material types are used in these panels including plastics, composites, aluminum and wood depending on the panels application and construction.  For composite panels, diamond tooling is preferable however the thickness of […]

Precision Aggregate Heads – Made in Germany Are you struggling with moving your work from one machine to another?  Do you have to re-position the work-piece on your machine?  Is your machine unable to perform specific criteria, which causes you to turn down business?  If you have answered “yes” to any of these questions, continue […]

PCD Diamond Router Bits: Engineered for Performance and Cost Savings PCD (polycrystalline diamond) router bits are a premium tooling solution for high-volume production environments and abrasive materials. Designed for exceptional wear resistance, these tools can offer dramatic cost savings and consistently high-quality cuts in the right application — particularly when cutting wood-based composites, laminated panels, […]

Improve Clamping Accuracy with Heat Shrink Tool Holder The Heat Shrink Tool Holder offers some substantial benefits when compared to standard HSK-63F tool holders. A Heat Shrink chuck creates a more uniform, rigid connection between the CNC machine and the tool resulting in less vibration and a noticeably smoother cut. Since there is no collet […]
