When machining hard to cut materials, carbide end mills always come up on top as the go-to tooling material, especially when our project and operation requires high levels of efficiency. However, it is important to understand that end mills made out of the same materials (carbide and cobalt based) and […]
Every machinist and shop has its own way to machine its pieces. What I know to be slow or wasteful might be considered an efficient approach for the next guy. So, when giving advice about machining materials the best thing we can do is see what are the few takes […]
Everyone wants a good deal when it comes to finding high-end cutting tool suppliers. This is a truism that can be applied to any other market or industry under the sun. However, whenever we find a bargain that is too good to be true, it usually is, especially when it […]
Aluminum is probably one of the most popular manufacturing materials for several reasons. It is a relatively soft metal, which makes it easier to machine than steel alloys and other hard materials. Despite its lightweight nature, aluminum is still remarkably strong. This makes aluminum alloys one of the materials of […]
Carbon fiber is becoming increasingly popular due to its incredible versatility and its lightweightness. Almost every industry today requires parts made of this composite material that is rapidly replacing components made of aluminum or plastic left and right. However, machining or cutting carbon fiber is harder than most think, and […]
Milling cutters perform a wide variety of different functions and shops that rely on their milling machines know how important it is to have quality cutters. Finding the best end mills for sale can make a huge difference in milling machine performance. Reliable tools will be able to run faster […]
