Anybody else having trouble with OSG?

[JOHN HIMES]

I have been using Balax for about five years now and I am very happy with them.

Thanks John -

 

I just now requested the High Technology Catalogue from the OSC website.

 

The sp3 tools look very promising.

 

We have a couple of insert holders with PCD inserts that work great in a rigid setup. What is killing us now is this particular setup is very non-rigid and we are stuck using a tapered end mills (formed cutter) to machine the path. We had some special PCD cutters made in the formed shape but they are straight flute and already dull. I don’t know why (I wasn’t involved when buying these tools) a helix wasn’t considered.

 

Diamond wears very quickly too.

 

Anyway, I’m looking for quick alternatives. Three more parts to run and no real tools.
