    Machine Designs

    Chicago Mold shows applications and explains surprising differences in two different 5-axis machine designs.

  • Maximizing

    Cutter Life

    Surkut president Doug Noxell explains and demonstrates his techniques for getting the most productivity out of cutters in hard milling applications.

  • Remote

    Machine Monitoring

    This case study shows how two shops gain productivity with video machine monitoring, and goes through the installation and implementation of video monitoring.

  • Hard Pockets

    with Accuracy

    Machining accurate pockets with reasonably sharp corners can be a real challenge. This video shows proven techniques to hard mill your slide pockets and others faster and more accurately.

  • Pallets

    and Five Axis

    Die Tech & Engineering of Grand Rapids found big gains in palletizing all their inserts. That made the transition to five axis easier and more productive.
