Three times the tool life against conventional grades?
And that’s not all – it’s also about “reducing cost per part and giving customers the cost saving on the spindle.” Joe Reynolds of MTDCNC invites Wayne Langford of MMC Hardmetal UK to break down the MV range, a CVD coated indexable milling grade built for P, M and K materials. The best part?…

Guhring’s new thread mill is cutting cycle times in half – and that’s just the start.
Faster threads, longer tool life, and a process secure enough to run without worrying about a broken tap ever again. In this Tech Corner, Joe Reynolds of MTDCNC and Chris Bush of Guhring dig into the new SC TMZ SP. Less radial force, no spring pass, higher RPM and feed rates – all from a staggered tooth design built for all materials up to 50 Rockwell. And if you’re still on taps? Guhring’s online program generator makes switching to thread milling a lot simpler than you think.

Podcast
Here at MTDCNC, you’ll find a collection of top-notch podcasts featuring discussions and insights from the manufacturing market.
The engineering podcast that engineers actually asked for!
From saw doctors to applications engineers, MTDCNC’s Tom Skubala and Chloe Reeve have lived the shop floor life – and now they’re talking about it. The debut episode of Tools Down covers everything from crashed machines and mindset to whether manufacturing really has a skills gap or just a serious image problem. Raw, honest, and refreshingly unfiltered – this is the podcast built by engineers, for engineers. Tune in to hear some interesting details about scrapped aerospace parts, tools dunked in tea, and the man the press once called mad for building the Eiffel Tower.
Why is workholding always an afterthought – if the machine never touches the part?
Invest a million dollars in a machine tool, forget about the chuck – and you’ve already compromised everything. In today’s MTDCNC podcast, Hainbuch’s Jarred breaks down why workholding is the most overlooked variable on the shop floor and how getting it right saves time, money, and scrap. From the IQ Chuck measuring diameter, RPM, and part temperature live inside the chuck, to the CentroteX AC system performing complete chuck changeovers lights out without an operator – there’s a reason one customer was able to take thirteen operators off a single cell. Join the conversation and find out why workholding isn’t
