To help moldmakers achieve the highest levels of milling and deep-hole drilling productivity, UNISIG introduced two models to its USC-M series, the USC-2M and USC-3M. Both these machines handle both ...

Whether on Swiss and other turn/mill centers, drilling and tapping machines, or with milling attachments, shops are doing more milling with small spindles than ever before. That’s partly due to the ...

Which to buy first, a lathe or a mill? It’s a tough question for the aspiring home machinist with limited funds to spend on machine tools, but of course the correct answer is a lathe. With a lathe, we ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

Modern machine tools continue to make technical advances, thanks in large part to ongoing improvements and fine-tuning in computer numerical control (CNC) machining. Over the past 60 years or so, CNC ...

Everyone wants to reduce cycle times, but simply machining faster isn’t necessarily the answer. If high speed milling comes at the cost of reduced tool life and surface finish, the minutes gained ...
