“The
NTMA has the honor of working with some very talented and
knowledgeable individuals, organizations, and institutions. A
shining star among these partners is Dale Mickelson. Dale’s
knowledge of all the machining variables, in combination with his
database of real world test results, enables his clients to develop
the high speed machining and hard milling processes required to be
competitive in today’s business climate. By helping his clients
decrease cycle time and tooling costs, and increase machine tool
utilization, he has helped our members realize tremendous
improvements in their operations.”

This
volume is a continuation of Hard Milling & High Speed
Machining: Tools of Change. It features different cutters
developed for hard milling and high speed machining. In this
current guide, you will find yet more variables associated with
this process. Six machine manufacturers are covered in the first
six chapters: Mikron, Okuma, Yasda, Roku Roku, Johnford and Moore.
They explain the different approaches to building machines for this
process. Also covered are two holder manufacturers Heartech
Precision and Big Kaiser, one probe and laser manufacturer Blum.
Furthermore the author includes some of his most recent development
work done on hard-to-machine materials and new cutters on the
market today.
It is
certain that when you read this book you will become more aware of
the people and companies involved in developing their products for
this process. By working with these companies, you will learn what
it takes to implement hard milling and high speed machining into
your shop.
