This modular carbide system is changing the conversation around cost per part.
“It’s not about buying a cheaper tool – it’s about buying the best tool for the cost per component.” With carbide costs rising, that mindset shift has never mattered more. Joe Reynolds of MTDCNC invites Luke Stokes of Mitsubishi Materials in the Technical Corner to explore the iMX – a carbide to carbide exchangeable head end mill system that delivers solid carbide performance across everything from Inconel and titanium to high mix low volume operations. With internal coolant included and a range spanning 10mm to 25mm, you only ever pay for the carbide you actually use.

This facility is about to change the UK supply chain for decades to come.
Next time you see a jet engine, the components inside could have started right here at Wall Colmonoy’s facility in the Swansea Valley. Their brand new VPIC (Vacuum Precision Investment Casting) facility melts nickel-based superalloys in a vacuum – no oxygen, no bubbles, just ultra-pure, high-strength components for the aerospace industry. It’s a £2.5 million investment that safeguards 200 local jobs, creates new high-tech roles, and establishes a domestic resource for UK aerospace that simply didn’t exist before. Tom Skubala and Lyndsey Vickers of MTDCNC made it to the official launch to see it all firsthand.

Forging has been around for centuries, and it still matters more than ever.
Since 1919, Clifford Jacobs Forging has been shaping steel into parts that keep the world moving – from Apache helicopters and F-18 components to elevator axles and mining equipment. In today’s MTDCNC Podcast, our guest Lori Brown of IMT Corporation breaks down what forging really is, why it still outperforms casting in critical applications, and how AI, simulation, and smarter furnace controls are modernising one of manufacturing’s oldest trades.

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
