The Baffling Issue of Tool-Bending Moment If you’ve machined titanium, or Ti 6Al-4V more specifically, then you’ve likely had an “inexplicable” tool-bending moment problem that’s made you scratch your head. A tool-bending moment happens when side force is applied...

Machining speeds are increased by using higher frequency while simultaneously using lower current to improve surface finishes. The advancements on the HFG Generator also provide improvements in machining speeds even when the ultimate surface finishes are not required. As shown below, a 2.0” (50mm)...
