We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Chip Flow",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Thread turning insert halves costs from
Vargus Tooling UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "An innovative six-cutting corner system of a thread turning insert promises revolutionary gains in productivity as well as halving tooling costs, said the MACH 2008 exhibitor".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Specialised drills save machining costs from
Mike Page - editor's feature articles: "Six drilling developments shown by Kennametal at EMO 2007, included hole making in SS and carbon-fibre reinforced polymers, deep-hole drilling and a modular drilling system, reports Mike Page".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Emag UK
concerning its 300 series Gear Hobbing machine
- take a look at Highly flexible hobber cuts gears up to Module 4
which says: "Equipped with flexible stock-handling system and integrated automation, a universal production gear hobbing machine cuts gear and gear-shaft type components up to module 4".
Take a look also at the news release from Iscar Tools, Metal cutting tooling to boost productivity,
as well as Deep hole solid carbide drills penetrate faster from Kennametal UK,
and Pick-up VTL machines shafts completely from Emag UK.
