38. <p>We just got back from EMO Hannover 2025 — and if anyone still wonders whether machining is alive and well, let us be clear: it&#8217;s not just alive… it&#8217;s thriving.</p>
39. <p>EMO was truly a city of machines. Tens of thousands of people from around the world packed into Hannover, Germany, all fired up about the future of manufacturing. Everywhere we turned, we saw something different — from massive five-axis machining centers the size of houses to compact shop-floor machines, cutting tools, automation systems, workholding, and robotics. Entire worlds of possibility under one roof.</p>
40. <p>But what stood out most wasn’t just the tech — it was the energy.<br />
41. Different languages, different backgrounds, one shared mission: making things.<br />
42. Manufacturing isn&#8217;t slowing down.<br />
43. It&#8217;s leveling up — fast.<br />
44. And the future has never looked brighter.</p>

95. <p><strong>Smarter holemaking for every material<br />
96. </strong>Seco X-Tip Drill is engineered to eliminate the need for multiple solid carbide drills. With a single drill body and a range of recyclable carbide tips, users can seamlessly switch between materials and depths—reducing tool clutter, setup time, and cost. Its high-feed geometry ensures faster, cleaner holes with less downtime, while its recyclable tips support sustainability goals.</p>
97. <p>“With Seco X-Tip Drill, we’ve built a tool that delivers high-feed drilling performance while keeping things flexible and efficient on the shop floor,” says Ricky Payling, Global Product Manager for Solid Round Tools Drilling. “The combination of a hardened tool steel body and precision-ground exchangeable carbide tips means you get the rigidity you need with the convenience of quick changeovers—less downtime, more productivity.”</p>
98. <p>This innovation stems from a clear market need: A tool that combines performance, flexibility, and environmental responsibility. Seco X-Tip Drill’s unique design not only enhances productivity but also aligns with modern manufacturing’s push toward leaner, greener operations.</p>

123. <p>How much work can be done with a lathe before needing a mill? In this episode, Patrick and Brad get into the real talk about pushing machines past their limits, and why knowing when to level up (your tools and your shop) can make or break you.</p>
124. <p>From shop hacks that kinda work to those that really shouldn’t, the guys share stories every machinist will recognize — the overused end mills, the “temporary” setups that become permanent, and the customers who turn every job into a test of patience.</p>
125. <p>It’s a mix of laughs, lessons, and shop-floor honesty — with a few solid reminders about knowing when it’s time to move on, learn more, and sharpen more than just your tools.</p>

312. <p>CoroCut<sup>®</sup> 2 is renowned for delivering quality, efficiency and process security across a wide range of applications, helping workshops increase output while reducing energy consumption and material waste. This latest development strengthens the portfolio with geometries tailored for profiling in demanding materials and for parting-off operations that require greater process reliability and productivity.</p>
313. <p>The ground profiling geometry -RO, ideal for finishing operations in nickel-based HRSA materials, has been upgraded to the CoroCut<sup>®</sup> 2 range. New insert grades and a stabilizing rail interface improve wear resistance and dimensional accuracy, enabling tight tolerances and consistent surface quality.</p>
314. <p>“The -RO geometry has long been the most popular insert in the CoroCut<sup>®</sup> 1-2 concept thanks to its sharp edge, tight tolerances and high edge-line quality, which is crucial for demanding aerospace components,” said Jenny Claus, product manager, parting and grooving, at Sandvik Coromant.</p>
315. <p>In addition, three parting-off geometries have been enhanced or newly added to the range:</p>
316. <ul>
317. <li><span role="presentation"><b>Geometry -CF:</b> A positive, light-cutting geometry updated with the CoroCut<sup>®</sup> 2 grades and patented FlashLight technology, delivering low cutting forces and superior edge-line quality</span></li>
318. <li><span role="presentation"><b>Geometry -CS:</b> A ground geometry with a front angle and sharp edge that minimizes pip and burr, now supported by a rail interface for added stability</span></li>
319. <li><span role="presentation"><b>Geometry -CR:</b> A versatile geometry with a new front angle that reduces pip and burr across a wide range of materials — ideal when a strong edge is needed</span></li>
320. </ul>
321. <p>“What sets CoroCut<sup>®</sup> 2 inserts apart are the benefits of our FlashLight technology, rail interface and high-performing grades,” said Fredrik Selin, product application specialist at Sandvik Coromant. “No matter the parting or grooving challenge, these features ensure excellent chip control, long tool life and high stability, even at high feeds and speeds.”</p>
322. <p>The CoroCut<sup>®</sup> 2 range includes tools and inserts for parting-off, external and internal grooving, face grooving and profiling — from roughing to finishing. Designed for use with two-edged inserts across all ISO materials and applications, it&#8217;s a versatile, sustainable and cost-efficient tooling concept for today’s high-demand production environments.</p>

414. <p><em>Greer, SC</em> — Walter has expanded its line of Tiger∙tec<sup>®</sup> Gold CVD grooving grades with the addition of WKP13G, WKP23G and WKP33G. The primary applications are grooving, groove turning and copy turning, and the secondary application is parting off.</p>
415. <p>The new WKPxxG grades highlight the latest in cutting tool coating technology, including a highly textured aluminum oxide (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) coating for crater wear resistance and a highly textured medium-temperature titanium carbo-nitride (MT-TiCN) coating on the substrate for flank wear resistance along with various multiple-stage post treatments for obtaining a smooth surface and high level of toughness. With this latest technology of multi-layer CVD coating, which is topped with a gold layer for the best wear detection, average tool life increases 30% to 40% is commonly seen in existing applications.</p>
416. <p>The new WKPxxG CVD grades are available in double-edged GD26 inserts for universal grooving applications, double-edged DX18 inserts for small part machining and single-sided SX inserts for deep parting.</p>
417. <p>The WKP13G grade provides a high level of wear resistance when continuously cutting at a high cutting speed. The grade is suitable for machining steel and cast iron (ISP P10 and K20 material groups).</p>
418. <p>The WKP23G grade provides a high level of wear resistance when continuously to occasionally interrupted cutting. It is a universal grade for approximately 80% of all applications. The grade is suitable for machining steel and cast iron (ISO P20 and K25 material groups).</p>
419. <p>The WKP33G grade offers excellent wear resistance and toughness and is for unfavorable conditions and interrupted cutting of steel and cast iron (ISO P30 and K30 material groups).</p>
420. <p>Combined with the globally recognized grooving chip breakers from Walter, the new grades provide the next generation of productivity and cost savings for end users.</p>

446. <p>This might be a small CNC machine shop, but it’s hard not to notice how dialed-in everything feels. This small CNC job shop in Brisbane, Australia runs with the kind of organization and flow most big shops chase for years.</p>
447. <p>Every corner of this shop has intent behind it. From color-coded workflow boards and one-and-done setups to 3D-printed coolant nozzles and tool systems built in-house, DDK proves that lean manufacturing doesn’t have to come with buzzwords — just smart thinking.</p>
448. <p>Owner Damien approaches machining like an engineer and a problem-solver. The result? A small shop that’s efficient, clean, and constantly improving — the kind of setup every machinist dreams of dialing in.</p>
449. <p>Shops like DK remind us that precision isn’t just in the parts — it’s in the process.</p>
