AtKennametal, we understand the critical importance of maintaining current metal cutting knowledge. For that reason, we sell industry-leading tools and give customers access to Kennametal University. Kennametal training provides valuable education on the latest tooling methods, ensuring you have access to the knowledge you need to beat the competition. We offer tooling training for all levels of metal cutting, from novice to advanced. Furthermore, if you cannot find the training you need in our standard curriculum, we can develop a unique training program for you.

Don't let this be your mantra for machining methods. Instead, manufacturing companies must adjust methods to stay competitive globally. You need to produce parts more efficiently and accurately.

Education is key to staying competitive. The Kennametal Knowledge Center knows this. We teach the latest machining practices and focus on the process, regardless of the tooling brand you use. Because it doesn't matter what brand of tooling you use if you aren't machining by the best method.

We offer comprehensive application engineering courses; industry- and application-specific courses, customer onsite programs, and the online-based certified metalcutting professional (CMP) program. Courses range from online to in-person over several days.

The Certified Metalcutting Professional (CMP) program is designed to demystify the metal cutting process and to provide defined and common selection criteria for all metalcutting tools. Tool selection criterion is based on proven cause and effect relationships that exist between three categories of tool design and application factors that can be applied to any metalcutting process. The CMP program is based on the fact that each factor within each category will provide a common effect regardless of the metal cutting process.

All courses are offered on the Internet and are available 24/7 using the latest e-learning techniques and format. The content and concepts presented in each course are supported by appropriate graphics and video. This is a certification program that will provide a CMP certification to the student when the program is completed.

After completing the 15 Kennametal courses with a final test score of 80% or better on each test, send an e-mail to na-knowle...@kennametal.com with your name and date of completion. After verification we will send a Kennametal Certified Metalcutting Professional (CMP) certificate.

I made a torsion box to put on the table top and then removed the leveling feet and put a piece of 3/4" rigid foam between the torsion box and the SO3 frame. The sag was gone and the upgrade was a good one. No CNC can be at its best without a solid foundation. My plan for making a torsion box is on the forum. The torsion box would be a cheap solution and even if you later upgrade to a more solid base plate for the SO3 the torsion box would help support a heavy load.

Admittedly at the time my SO3 was modded with a metal bed, HDZ and spindle. You already have the HDZ which is good, the router vs spindle is manageable if you check the runtout on your router, and the XXL vs std size is also manageable if you make sure you bed is properly supported and does not sag, there are lost of posts about adressing that.

The short answer is, very likely. When cutting stainless, you want lower RPM and a bit more chip load per tooth. The Dewalt router will not likely have the RPM range you will need for different cutting tool diameters. You almost always want to cut stainless in the climb milling direction. Conventional milling is rubbing and carbide hates rubbing. (rubbing is for racing) Your machine was not built for climb milling nor would I try on any belt driven machine. The SO5 or HDM are ball screw driven and stand a better chance with a VFD spindle kit. Even then, I would stick with 303 stainless. Heat is your other big enemy with stainless. It will work harden very quickly if you cant keep the temperatures under control.

You've come to the right place. At WIDIA, we're about the principles and facts, not the commercialism. We proudly offer thorough application engineering courses; industry and application focused courses, customer onsite programs, and an online certified metalcutting professional (CMP) program.

Metal cutting is a subtractive metalworking process of dividing a metal workpiece into multiple parts using force or other erosion techniques. The cutting action can be generated with blades or methods like electrical discharges and water jets.

Henry Maudslay is the inventor of metal cutting processes like the lathe. The actual history of metal working dates far back to ancient times like the Egyptian Civilisation. The Late Medieval age saw the emergence of metal punching machines. With the development of electrical components, the metal cutting methods shifted to electrical operations instead of physical. The later development of CNC technology further automated the process.

Metal cutting is among the most common processes for raw material processing. Metal cutting processes shape raw sheet metal like mild steel for further manufacturing techniques. Advanced metal cutting techniques like waterjet cutting can directly create the final part from raw metal sheets and blocks.

Turning is usually done on cylindrical metal bars and rods with a non-rotary cutting tool. This process is used for making external cuts on the metal. If turning is done from the inside, the process is called boring.

Shearing accomplishes the cutting process with the action of blade on either side of the metal sheet. Shearing tools come in many different configurations. Bench shearing is one of the most common shearing techniques for metal cutting.

Grinding uses abrasive wheels to remove minimal material from the workpiece. It is generally applied in the secondary finishing processes for metals. The material removed by this process is minimal. However, it does not have any significant cutting capabilities.

Thermal cutting processes cut metals by melting the material from the required location. Thermal cutting processes have good precision. However, they create heat-affected zones that can ruin the integrity of the workpiece material.

The laser-cutting process uses high-frequency light rays to melt the workpiece. Laser cutting is one of the most precise methods due to the high narrow nature of the laser beam. The laser cutting process is not limited to linear cuts. However, laser cutting cannot create multi-axis cuts.
