Troubleshooting Thread Quality Issues When Using HRC65 Thread Mills for Steel

Leave a Comment / Heat Treated Steel Processing / By

Last week, we held an urgent late-night video call with a long-standing aerospace client in Germany. They were using our HRC65 thread mills to machine a batch of heat-treated, ultra-high-strength alloy steel with UNC specifications. The results on the shop floor were disastrous. While the tools did not break, the “Go” thread gauge jammed after […]

Graphite End Mills Complete Guide: Types, Applications, Coatings, and CNC Machining Parameters

Leave a Comment / Graphite Machining System / By

When machining graphite electrodes for Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), operators rarely struggle with machine tool precision. Instead, the primary bottleneck is tool instability during the high-speed milling process. Graphite’s highly abrasive nature creates a unique cutting environment that severely tests cutting edge integrity. We experienced this firsthand during a project for a European client requiring
