Iscar and Megatel held a joint event at Iscar's Oakville, ON facility recently to showcase the latest in machining and cutting strategies.
Attendees witnessed live demonstrations of milling and drilling on an AWEA BM1200 equipped with Mastercam software and live turning on a Goodway GS 280Y.
Both machines were equipped with Iscar tooling to demonstrate performance. Tooling on the machines included the FFQ and H600 fast feed milling inserts, SumoCham drilling, the ChatterFree end mill and the Tang Plunge tangentially clamped inserts with four cutting edges, and a rigid cutter body for plunging operations.

Ronnie O'Byrne, general manager of Iscar Tools, said the presentation was in part an introduction event to highlight the new partnership with Megatel. The company plans to hold more events in the near future to showcase new tooling technologies.
Calling it an industry first, Emuge's MultiTap is a high performance tap designed for threading a range of materials including carbon steel, steel alloys, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze.
Based in Oakville, Ontario, Elliott Matsuura Canada Inc. has been supplying and supporting quality machine tools to the Canadian metal cutting industry since 1950. Elliott carries a full range of metalworking machinery,
Iscar Tool's latest innovations includes new adjustable-pocket face mills in the Alutang family, designed to carry primarily PCD or PCBN tipped inserts for use on cast iron, hardened steel, aluminum or any other non-metallic materials.
New high performance taps for large diameter tapping from Kennametal feature a wear-resistant powder metal substrate and proprietary top layers and coatings, designed wind turbine component machining of hubs, rings and gearbox housings.
For manufacturers looking to achieve that competitive edge, you can do no better than a multi-tasking machine. They eliminate the need for separate milling and turning machines, multiple set-ups and, most importantly, they improve productivity.
