Rethink about Cutting tools

[ricky_fire]

Thanks Mackius & wccprog for the inputs about Taeg

Now I work AMS 6265 and some like this.

For 30-40HRC and deep hole I work with SECO for drill and big diameter 10-16 Minimaster from SECO or Kenametal with nose cooling.

For 25-30HRC and short hole I use Titex for drill

and Millmonster for miil and <6 mm diameter ..US brand very good surface and tight tolerance. And it's cheapest.

Z Carbs are nice, if you do a search for 'Z carb' there is a whole thread on it but I like the sound of the Hanita tools that they're using in Long Beach..

 

Indexable cutters with replaceable hard seats are nice but only available in certain geometries.

 

Try GK Indexable for repairs to any mangled inserted tools [boring bars, milling cutters, etc] they'll usually fix it good as new for less than 50% of replacement cost.

If I were buying taps, OSG for run of the mill stuff (Aluminum, steel, etc...)and Emuge for Superalloys (Titanium, Inconel, Rene, etc...) and stainless. The reason I use both is because Emuge taps are EXPENSIVE and you want to be able to justify the added cost.

 

If you tap larger sizes quite a bit, take a look at threadmilling. You actually have more control over pitch diameter and major diameter.

Oh, and you're very welcome.

I have used Titex taps in Titanium with good results, too.

[ricky_fire]

I thought Guhring's main competitor was Titex

 

Correct me if i am wrong

 

Is Titex cheaper cost wise

 

What about performance & life vis a vis Guhring

[EX-wccprogrammer]

Titex is pricey, but so is Guhring... Personally, I would buy the Titex for titanium. One job had about 30 4-40 holes in titanium. We tried at least 10 different manufacturers / styles before we settled in on the Titex. We had far less breakage. I don't remember all of the brands, or whether Guhring was included, but there was OSG, TRW, and some other really well known brands in our travels.

Hey ricky i doubt if there is any dealer of Guhring here in mumbai If you know please let me know.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Titex is quite good as well. I have an 8 x Diameter Solid Carbide Drill running through tool coolant. Only cutting aluminum but getting killer too life. The same drill has been in since early January. Up to about 4800 holes now. Still on size, still on location, etc...

[ricky_fire]

Dont worry cadist, since u r in mumbai I will hand deliver it to u once I get all the details myself.

I have used Gühring 4-flute end mills with two different angles. About 35 degrees for two flutes and about 38 degrees for the others. It is a stainless application. All other endmills I I have tried has just chattered but this one is working absolutely great.
