Among the automotive parts they manufacture, Machine Tool & Gear pumps out over 112,000 truck shafts each year from its 70,000 square foot facility in Owosso, Michigan. These shafts are produced in a work cell built around a Mori-Seiki NH 4000 horizontal machining center. Recently a design change to one of the shafts created a challenge for MT&G Manufacturing Engineer Jeff Ochodnicky.

Cutting Tool Coating Production By Duane Drape National Sales Manager Horn USA

The two Type 636 slot mills rough and finish mill the recesses from the solid material. Slots in the range of 1.5- to 3-mm width and as much as 12-mm depth can be milled with the standard cutters.

Avoiding bad breaks when boring There's a basic misconception about applying micro boring bars to finish small holes: the tools won't work.

Manufacturers that produce standard product lines have an advantage over contract shops in that they can continually upgrade their processes based on predictable machining needs.

As with any turning application, the keys to good performance when OD grooving are choosing the best tool for the material and applying it at the proper cutting parameters.

The challenge of boring holes smaller than 0.250" in diameter can cause trepidation—even among experienced machinists. Not only is it nearly impossible to see what is happening inside of the hole, but the required tooling also tends to be fragile.
