We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Tool Grinding",
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 CNC tool and cutter grinder is consistent from
Koerber Schleifring UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "To meet increasing demand for tooling regrinds from aerospace companies, a UK specialist tooling manufacturer has added on another CNC tool and cutter grinder for its
consistency".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Adding accuracy to long tool grinding jobs from
Anca Pty: "To increase rigidity and accuracy when grinding long tools on a universal grinding machine, a P-axis that includes two travelling steadies and a CNC tailstock".
In December 2007, we covered the news from ITC Tooling
concerning its Cyber Series 2111 and 2102 end mills
- take a look at PCD tipped end mills cut abrasive materials
which says: "For machining graphite, metal matrix, composites, Kevlar, carbon fibre and other abrasive materials, a range of end mills have PCD tips to provide longer tool life".
Take a look also at the news release from Koerber Schleifring UK, Tool grinder builder moves to new factory,
as well as Specialist for grinding machines and tool checkers from Koerber Schleifring UK,
and Tool grinding machine builder director appointed from Koerber Schleifring UK.
