Four operations on a VMC or one operation on a Star sliding head?
When demand surged for one of their key parts, Restormel Machine in Cornwall knew their four-operation VMC process wasn’t going to cut it anymore. The switch to a Star SB20 sliding head lathe transformed it into a single-operation, bar-fed, automated process. We’re talking compact footprint, live tooling, and up and running within weeks of ordering. MTDCNC’s Lyndsey Vickers speaks with David Winter of Restormel Machine and Matt Lee of Star Micronics to find out how the right machine and the right support turned a process headache into a no-brainer.

Why did TTL select this Starrag model?
“High accuracy and the ability to do things that other machines cannot do.” TTL is investing in a Starrag X50 – a high-precision five-axis mill-turn machine arriving at their Haddenham facility later this year, purpose-built for the manufacture and repair of blisks and HPC blades. MTDCNC’s Paul Jones speaks with Simon Rogers of Starrag TTL to find out what this investment means for jet engine component repair in the UK.

Have you seen Blum’s new software for lights-out automation?
Unattended automation is only as good as the process controlling it – and FormControl X is built to make that process bulletproof. Blum’s new closed-loop software turns your machine into an on-board CMM, automatically checking components, updating tool offsets and flagging scrap parts in real time – all without an operator touching a thing! MTDCNC’s Chloe Reeve speaks with Joseph Bray of Blum Novotest UK to find out how FormControl X gives manufacturers the confidence to let automation run and actually trust the parts coming out.

Can physics-based machining cut cycle times in half?
Reduce cycle times by up to 50%, setup cost by 20% and tooling cost by 11%… Productive Machines demonstrates how physics-based machining can make it happen. MTDCNC’s Clinton Perry and Cristina Sesma of Productive Machines discuss SenseNC, a CAM plug-in that analyses NC code and machine behaviour and helps eliminate chatter and optimise toolpaths directly inside systems like Siemens NX and Mastercam. Using tap testing, the software builds a “fingerprint” of the machine and tool setup to identify stable cutting zones before machining begins. The result is reduced vibration, improved surface finish, and more predictable machining without leaving the CAM

Can tooling quality and cost efficiency finally align?
At a time when global manufacturing volumes are reshaping how tooling is priced, produced, and delivered, Ultra Tooling enters the market focused on exactly that challenge. With over 30 years in engineering and deep experience in sliding head machining, Russell Layton of Ultra Tooling explains how global manufacturing growth is influencing both pricing and capability across the tooling sector. The range spans Swiss-type tooling, inserts, holders, and workholding solutions, offering comparable material quality, coatings, and standards to more established brands – with savings of around 15% to 25% depending on application.

Could a ceramic fibre brush improve your deburring process?
Easy to use, easy to program, and effective on castings with natural part variation – the Xebec Surface Brush helps eliminate the risk of missed edges that can occur with traditional rigid chamfer tools. As David Taylor of Drill Service highlights, the ceramic fibre design allows controlled flexibility for deburring, root burr removal, and surface finishing using a standard end mill-style program. With simple adjustment, predictable wear behaviour, and reliable performance on variable parts, it’s a more consistent approach to achieving surface quality in demanding applications.
