Enormous advances have been made in superabrasive tools over the last decade, bringing substantial changes in basic tooling concepts. In particular, braze welded multi-edge superabrasive tools designed to extremely tight tolerances have superseded older adjustable mechanically retained inserts.
The current trend is thus to develop multi-edge bars that make it is possible to perform several operations simultaneously, shortening cycle times and drastically reducing the number of tool holders needed. |
