Let’s Take a Look at The Options. When it comes to machining hard materials, traditional tooling materials such as carbide can quickly wear out and fail to provide the necessary precision and accuracy. This is where polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (pCBN) tools comes into play. pCBN is an extremely hard material that is ideal for…
Lets Analyze The Benefits When it comes to thread milling, the helix angle of the tool can have a significant impact on the quality of the finished product. A variable helix angle, in particular, can offer a range of benefits that make it a popular choice among machinists. In this blog, we’ll explore some of…
Lets Analyze The Benefits When it comes to measuring external threads, one of the primary tools used is a thread ring gauge. These gauges are used to verify the pitch diameter and the functional size of threaded components. However, there are two types of thread ring gauges: solid and split ring gauges. While both can…
Threading Die Uses in Modern Manufacturing Applications When it comes to creating threads in a workpiece, there are two primary methods: single point threading and thread cutting dies. While both methods have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, there are situations where thread cutting dies are more beneficial to a manufacturing process than single point…
What is the difference and what does that mean for your tooling? In the world of manufacturing, cutting tools are a critical component in the production process. When it comes to cutting tools made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD), there are two primary methods of fabrication: laser cutting and electrical discharge machining (EDM). Both methods have…
What are the benefits of utilizing a Left-Hand Spiral / Right-Hand Cutting Thread Mill? When it comes to creating threads in a variety of materials, the type of cutting tool you use can make all the difference. One popular option is left-hand spiral/right-hand cutting thread milling, a cutting tool that offers several benefits over other…
