Turning Point (Part Two)

Whether the work involves processing larger, heavier pieces with high complexity in a single setup, cutting difficult shapes out of tough materials or producing very high precision small parts from bar stock at blazing speeds, the latest advances in tooling and workholding provide shops with new capabilities to turn jobs around faster than ever.
To excel in steel turning applications, the TP3501 grade with Duratomic technology and Chrome Used-Edge Detection from Seco Tools allows a user to instantly identify when an insert edge has been used, making every edge count and reducing potential waste to provide optimal application security in steel turning applications that involve numerous interrupted cuts, less stable machines, short time in cut or weak setups due to part size or shape.

Cut Faster, Last Longer When Turning the Most Challenging Materials
TS2000 and TS2500 grades for heat-resistant alloys from Seco Tools boost surface quality on machined parts and provide a more consistent tool life while machining heat resistant materials, superalloys and titanium alloys used in aerospace, power generation and biomedical engineering.

Power Chuck for Advanced Turning Center Spindles
The compact, lightweight DURO-A RC power chuck with a quick jaw-change system from Röhm reduces setup times considerably and boasts centrifugal force compensation for fast speeds and feeds that unlock the full potential ofturning centers with integrated spindle motor technology.

Higher Speeds, Longer Tool Life for Interrupted Hard-Part Turning
CB7125 and CB7135 grades from Sandvik Coromant are ideal for removing hardened layers while turning shaft splines and shafts with chamfered oil holes or pockets, longitudinal turning of gears and shafts with unchamfered keyways or pockets, CV joint components such as the inner/outer race and cage, gear facing and hard-to-soft turning of crown wheels.

Quick-Change Tooling Maximizes Turning Center Potential for Job Shop
To meet increasingly demanding market requirements, Anthony Machine uses KM quick-change tooling from Kennametal for shorter setup times, greater flexibility and higher levels of machine utilization on their universal turning centers.

Expanded Capabilities for Swiss-Style Lathe Applications
As opportunities for Swiss-type lathe applications increase, Hardinge expands their Swiss-type workholding systems to meet the high precision demands of different industries for quickly and effectively machining complex, high accuracy, long and slender finished parts from stock fed through a guide bushing.

Wear Resistant Grade for Continuous Precision Threading
Pramet T8010 is a high wear-resistant grade for threading from Dormer Pramet for continuous precision threading of steels, stainless steel, cast iron and super alloys.

Convert Standard Chucks into Quick Change Chucks
Fast-Trac Jaw Nuts from Dillon convert standard chucks into quick change chucks that reduce jaw change time by 50 percent or more and allow users to preassemble the next operation jaws while the machine runs a separate job.

Slash Downtime for Tool Changes in Swiss-Style Machines
The Auto Fast Change Tool System from ARNO is a quick-change tool system for Swiss-style auto lathes and turning machinery that provides faster setups, reduces downtime with in-process tool changes, and eliminates the need for external plumbing to facilitate cooling.

Quick, Easy Gang Slide Tool Changeovers on Swiss Lathes
To minimize machine downtime and provide operator safety, Hydraulic Chucks for Swiss lathes from BIG KAISER are tool holders that use a single wrench for a quick and easy change of the cutting tools on a gang slide.
