Researchers have developed a new machine-learning-assisted approach to optimize micro-electro-discharge machining (µ-EDM) of ...

As new machining techniques become more widespread, it can be tempting for shops to try them out and put their promises to the test. It is important to not only learn how to use a new machining ...

Mass-change processes are characterized by the removal of material through the use of mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electrical energy. 1 In most instances, the workpiece density is not altered; ...

MAG will be presenting its innovative Cyclo Cut Max-Flute end mills at its IMTS 2012 booth this in Chicago next month. These 16-flute designs are capable of high removal rates at low torque, running ...

Every machinist knows about milling tool chatter. How it sounds. What it does to surface finish. How it diminishes tool life. When it happens, the first reaction is to turn down the feed rate. While ...
