How Boring Bar Geometries Impact Cutting Operations

October 23, 2019/7 Comments/in CNC Machining, Holemaking, Micro 100, Tool Information Guides, Tool Selection, Turning/by Robert Keever

Boring is a turning operation that allows a machinist to make a pre-existing hole bigger through multiple iterations of internal boring. It has a number of advantages over traditional hole finishing methods: The ability to cost-effectively produce a hole outside standard drill sizes The creation of more precise holes, and therefore tighter tolerances A greater […]

Milling Machines vs. Lathe Machines

February 22, 2018/26 Comments/in CNC Machining, Getting Started, Machining 101, Micro 100, Milling, Quick Tips/by Harvey Performance Company

Most modern manufacturing centers have both milling machines and lathe machines.

Multi-Start Thread Reference Guide

May 18, 2017/11 Comments/in CNC Machining, Machining 101, Machining Techniques, Micro 100, Thread Milling/by Harvey Performance Company

A multi-start thread consists of two or more intertwined threads running parallel to one another. Intertwining threads allow the lead distance of a thread to be increased without changing its pitch. A double start thread will have a lead distance double that of a single start thread of the same pitch, a triple start thread […]
