Abrasives are used to shape or polish a work piece through a rubbing action, which generates the friction force used to drive the process. Their main aim is to make surfaces smooth and reflective. Over the years, abrasives have found…

Grinding fluids provide lubrication as well as cooling effects for production of precisely machined and ground parts. Grinding is an abrasive machining process, suited to the machining of hard materials. The use of fluids in a grinding process is important…

Cutting fluids are types of coolants and lubricants that are used in metalworking processes like machining and stamping. Cutting fluids come in a range of diversity such as oils, oil-water emulsions, gels, aerosols etc. Furthermore, they can be produced from…

Some cut machines are designed with inserts to enhance certain functionalities. This means that their cutting edge has a welded, brazed, or clamped separate piece of material on the machine body. To achieve this, materials such as cubic boron nitride, cemented carbide, and polycrystalline diamond are used. Changeable inserts are not available for drilling and milling machines. Hollow shank taper and shank taper are the two holders for mounting the cut machine on the CNC's machine spindle. The cutting edge of a cut machine plays a critical role during the cutting process. Good cutting edges are characterized by these following three features:

When it comes to micrometers, there are different kinds available commercially. So, what are micrometers anyway? The answer may surprise you. Micrometers are typically used for precision measurement and are very effective in measuring fine dimensions. There are both metric…

Hydraulic fluids are used in hydraulic machines as a medium of power transfer. They are common in a number of industrial applications including lifts, industrial machines, earth movers, tippers, gear systems, excavators, power steering systems, hydraulics brakes and many others.…

Crafted by the Rockford Manufacturing Group (RMG), the RMG Lewis straighten machines offer bi-headed product lines.  These include the RMG and Lewis cut machines. The two lines have a series of products under each, with the designs retaining one common…

A cutting fluid is a specialty lubricating coolant primarily used in enhancing metal working processes. With the expansive knowledge base available in the corporate circles, there are various industrially viable varieties of cutting fluids in the market today. Their existence and ease of use is primarily driven by the need for exceptional results whenever needed in a given process. Below are a few of many classes of cutting fluids:
