In the late 1990s, a quiet revolution began in metalworking — and solid carbide endmills (SCEM) were at the heart of it. Once niche, they quickly became a mainstay thanks to their unmatched precision, ability to handle small-diameter designs, and perfectly balanced structures. Against high-speed steel (HSS), carbide was a clear winner: tougher, sharper for longer, and capable of withstanding punishing wear. But their rise wasn’t just about being better than the competition. The growth of CNC machining and the push for high-speed milling (HSM) demanded tools that could keep pace — and SCEM were built for speed. At the…

Otto Bilz has…

It’s the same old story every day and the pressure is constantly increasing: the first tool must be in quality and rework must be avoided. Scrap must be avoided at all costs, because it is one of the major cost drivers. This applies to both the production of new tools and to regrinding. To achieve this, it is essential to have a perfect grinding programme as well as valid information about grinding wheels and wheel packs. ANCA provides a standardised interface for this in the WheelEditor of ANCA’s own ToolRoom grinding software, which enables both the export of wheel information…

Tool inspection — the science of measuring, monitoring, and validating cutting tools and fixtures — is transforming rapidly. Once confined to basic checks in metrology labs, inspection has now become a dynamic, technology-driven pillar of shop-floor productivity. Rising demands for tighter tolerances, reduced downtime, and faster delivery have pushed inspection systems to evolve into integrated, data-powered ecosystems. Modern inspection today combines hardware such as tool presetters, touch probes, laser scanners, and vision systems with advanced digital layers — software platforms, analytics dashboards, and links to MES/ERP systems. Together, these solutions are turning inspection from a routine quality task into a…

From the heart of Kolhapur, Maharashtra, emerged a company that turned humble beginnings into a benchmark of innovation in cutting tool manufacturing. VP GROUP, founded by Mr. Vitthal Pol in 1995, has grown from a one-man distribution initiative into a fully integrated manufacturing powerhouse. Today, it is recognized not just for its high-quality tooling solutions but also for its adaptability, global outlook, and customer-first philosophy.

The evolution of tool manufacturing is experiencing a monumental shift with the integration of additive and subtractive manufacturing methods. This hybrid approach combines the precision of traditional machining with the versatility and speed of 3D printing, creating a more efficient, cost-effective, and flexible process for producing tools, dies, and moulds. As industries demand faster turnaround times, reduced costs, and improved customizations, the fusion of these technologies is set to become the future of tool manufacturing. The Hybrid Manufacturing Revolution Traditionally, manufacturing processes have relied on either subtractive or additive methods. Subtractive manufacturing, using CNC machines, is well-established for producing highly…

India is poised for a transformative leap in transportation, and the trailblazers behind that leap are the founders of Quintrans—Prasanna Kadambi, Kartik Kulkarni, and CEO Pranay Luniya.
