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
