We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Chip Removal",
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 Heavy-duty plate saw cuts tool steel quickly from
Kasto, which we summarised at the time by saying "A heavy-duty, CNC vertical bandsaw for cutting billets, plates, square or flat materials up to 1060 x 2060mm in section can cross-cutting 'difficult' metals as titanium, Hastelloy and Inconel".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Compact CNC milling machine is universal from
HK Technologies: "A very compact universal CNC 3-axis milling machine for general machining is being offered at an unrivalled price-performance ratio, selling for under EUR 50,000".
In August 2007, we covered the news from LMT Fette
concerning its Ball nose and toroidal indexable milling inserts
- take a look at Milling inserts have integrated cooling flutes
which says: "A range of ball nose and toroidal indexable milling inserts have integrated cooling flutes for through the tool air supply to provide more efficient chip evacuation".
Take a look also at the news release from Schuette, CNC multi-spindle automatics are modular,
as well as 5-axis CAM supports positional, simultaneous work from EdgeCAM,
and Drill/tap centres machine aluminium from Hardinge Machine Tools.
