Cutting tools with wedge-shaped and sharp-edged devices are used during machining to shear off the excess layer of material from the workpiece to achieve the desired shape, size, and precision.

A rigid mount is provided for the machine tool. Cutting tools and workpieces can also be characterized by the relative velocity they have with one another by various mechanical and other systems.

Applications of Cutting Tools

Due to the range of cutting tools available for current CNC milling centers, machine operators must be knowledgeable about different types of milling cutters and how they are used in standard milling procedures.

Automotive

Cutting-edge results in various areas are required for advanced tools for the automobile sector. Automobile manufacturers use automated methods to keep unit costs under control when they produce high quantities of products.

Machinists should use high-efficiency cutting equipment with high-performance designs to produce goods profitably. These machines should be durable and offer cutting speeds at the lowest cost per unit.

Aerospace

For decades, aircraft manufacturers have been focused on developing stronger and lighter materials. For years these materials have challenged the cutting tool business for years, forcing it to create ever-more-effective cutting techniques.

Compared to the aircraft industry, the aerospace sector has stricter criteria for cutting tools as a lot of emphases is placed on composite materials. This composite material is even lighter than materials utilized in the aerospace industry, yet it is strong and lightweight, enabling it to sustain heavy loads.

Small Appliances and Medical Equipment

Manufacturing cutting tools to fulfill the demands of the small parts and medical device sectors is a never-ending problem. For medical and small part components to achieve the high quality and reliability required by their use, excellent process reliability and consistent surface polish are essential.

As surgeons and medical device manufacturers use increasingly complex geometric solutions and increasingly difficult-to-machine materials, SCTools provides the tools to address these changing machining requirements.

Energy Industry

The wind energy sector has experienced tremendous global growth, which has increased the demand for parts that are machined effectively. Typically, energy and wind energy components have very long cutting times, are quite expensive, and are massive.

We manufacture a broad selection of highly reliable cutting solutions that address a variety of necessary applications, including milling, drilling, turning, and threading. Our cutting tools produce excellent cutting results by utilizing the most recent material technology for our customers' benefit.

Machine Tools for Composite Materials

It's no longer just the aircraft industry that uses composite material machining. As their application benefits grow more crucial to competitive performance in various sectors, advanced composite materials like CRRP and others can be found in the medical, sporting, defense, and electronics industries.

Abrasion resistance of these materials leads to PCD (polycrystalline diamond) tipped milling cutters and turning tools having superior cutting efficiency and longer service life compared to steel and carbide tools. It is exclusively for these uses that SCTools designs and produces PCD tipped tools.

A machinist knows it's important to use the best tool for the job. But what if you're unsure which tool is suitable for the job? At SCTools, we can help you choose which tooling options are best for your application range.
