Five practical aerospace milling strategies to improve stability, surface integrity, and tool life when machining HRSAs, titanium, and high-nickel alloys.

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 ...

It’s easy to assume that not much has changed with face mills for a while. There’s been so much attention on other milling processes over the last few years, and face mills, or shell mills, were ...

When he founded MakerBot eight years ago, Pettis made a multi million-dollar bet that at-home 3-D printing would become the future of manufacturing. Today, that prediction still hasn't materialized.

The two basic cutting tool types used in metalworking are the single-point and multi-point designs. Fundamentally, they are similar. By grouping a number of single point tools in a circular holder, ...

Historically, the threading of holes has been a fairly straightforward operation, usually performed close to the end of a part’s machining. Once the holes had been drilled, thread taps of the ...

The bulk of the milling machine market consists of half-lane machines weighing from 60,000 to 90,000 pounds and typically equipped with roughly 7-foot-wide cutting drums, which are powered by 600- to ...

The BM 2200/65 milling machine has a maximum milling width of 58 inches. The 60,296-pound half-lane mill has a 630-horsepower engine that matches power with milling speed for efficient milling to ...

Cold milling is an integral part of the construction cycle of any road. Asphalt milling is used to remove an old and worn wearing course or the entire asphalt pavement. It can also be used to improve ...
