A Post About Absolutely Nothing 2008-04-13 21:25:01 Ok, so in the title it says that on from time to time there would be an occasional rant about nothing. I haven't faithfully held my end of the bargain on that one. Therefore folks, here you go, a rant about nothing.Over the weekend at our church, I had the pleasure of playing my acoustic guitar with some very talented musicians, in front of a few thousand people. I tell you what, in my life, this was up there with being one of the more difficult thing I've ever had to do. My attempts at public speaking, while enjoyable would be number one, but after time that becomes less nerve inducing. But doing something that has always been a hobby, in front of a large group of people was enough to put the sweat glands into overload. On more than one occasion it seemed like they had turned up th Read more:Absolutely

Ceramic Inserts vs. CBN Inserts 2008-04-14 10:55:46 CNMA CBN Insert (shown in picture above)VS.CNGA Ceramic
Insert (shown in picture)An important criterion for the economical application of cutting tools is their life in relation to the metal removal rates, especially with two materials such as ceramic and CBN. The latter is much more expensive. Thus, comparison of tool wear becomes most important.The two materials show marked performance differences in both size and surface finish in roughing, interrupted, and finishing cuts. In comparison to grinding, however, both materials will achieve much higher metal removal rates.CBN will out-perform ceramic in interrupted cuts. With depth-of-cut of 0.060 inch to 0.120 inch and a speed of 350 sfpm with 0.010 to 0.020 inch feed per revolution, ceramic often will fail when entering the interruption. W

Cylinder Boring with CBN or PCD Inserts 2008-05-14 10:49:20 Boring out cylinders to accept oversized pistons or sleeves has long been a common practice in the engine rebuilding business. Boring allows worn blocks to be salvaged, and stock cylinder bores to be enlarged for more displacement. More recently, boring is also being used to install special cylinder liners with hard surface treatments in high performance racing e
Hard Milling with Ceramic Inserts 2008-05-27 09:23:09 Hard milling with ceramic inserts can help a mold shop to reduce manufacturing costs in several ways. First, a mold shop can replace several operations with one operation. Instead of machining, hardening and remachining, the use of ceramic inserts enables a shop to harden the steel first and then machine the part in the hardened form. This reduces manufacturing time and improves job tracking by re Read more:Ceramic

Precision Cast Iron Machining 2008-06-04 10:52:14 Whether you’re making brake discs and flywheels in grey cast iron, or crank shafts and wheel hubs in nodular cast iron, there is always a successful solution.Over the years there have been a number of CBN grades made available for machining cast iron with CBN. Most notably are DR-80 and DR-85. These grades are made for the following applications:For rough and semi-finish turni Read more:Precision
What is a tool bit? 2008-08-18 12:41:35 The term tool bit generally refers to a non-rotary cutting tool used in metal lathes, shapers, and planers. Such cutters are also often referred to by the set-phrase name of single-point cutting tool. The cutting edge is ground to suit a particular machining operation and may be resharpened or reshaped as needed. The ground tool bit is held rigidly by a tool holder while it is cutting.Back Rake is
All About Cermet Inserts 2008-08-15 11:00:34 Cermet inserts can't quite replace the coated carbide inserts in heavy roughing operations with interrupted cuts, but in semifinishing and finishing cermet inserts outperform carbide. They permit a higher surface speed while maintaining an acceptable surface finish with good tolerance holding property and increased tool life. Because the cermet surface is slick it presents less friction to the chi
