- Why Makino?
As head milling applications engineer for Makino, Ron Field spends most of his time helping die and mold manufacturers implement high-speed machining applications. From this hands-on experience, Field has developed a list of commonly held misconceptions about high-speed machining.
In today's fast paced, competitive die/mold and precision tooling market, often different projects require different approaches and techniques. Some can be completed on a milling machine using hard-milling techniques. Some components and materials may require using coolant. Then there are other jobs...
The proper processes and machining strategies are critical in micro-mold building and other miniature manufacturing industries. Learn about specific requirements and limitations in tool holding, programming, cutter technologies, and tool-length measurement.
Focuses on the latest techniques in high-speed machining of HRC 60 and harder materials for die or mold applications. Learn tips and tricks you can use to mill the toughest steels.
