required on aerospace parts. All of our tools are diameter specifi c for the bore size and depth of groove,” said Mulvey. “The secret of effective machining is in getting the best combination of substrate, cutting edge and coating, espe-
cially for applications involving diffi cult-to-machine materials, like Inconel, titanium, high-end stainless, precipitation stain- less, cobalt alloys and Stellite. Except for some of the newer hardenable titaniums, we don’t think of titanium as being as diffi cult to machine as in the past,” said Mulvey.
“Because all of these materials have low machinability ratings, we strive for predictability in tool life. We provide a quality tool so that the customer knows how often he has to change the insert on a consistent basis. It helps that most machines today have a tool manage- ment system that will tell the operator when it’s time to change the insert so that valuable time isn’t lost in produc- tion,” said Mulvey. “A recent example is one customer who is machining a
