Ingersoll Cutting Tools has long been one of the world's leading suppliers of metal removal tooling. Since our first cutting tool patent in 1889, we have strived to provide innovative and productive metal removal solutions on the market. We pioneered the development of indexable carbide tooling. We were the first to introduce the On-Edge insert configuration. We received the first patent for an indexable ball nose end mill and quickly followed with the first two-effective ball nose. This innovative trend continues today with a comprehensive range of milling, turning and holemaking metal removal products. Our goal is to help you remain competitive in your rapidly changing manufacturing environment. You can design the perfect shop, buy the most advanced machines and hire the best people, but the tooling is where the rubber hits the road. It all comes down to removing metal quickly and efficiently for the lowest total cost. Ingersoll Cutting Tools is a member of the IMC Group of metalworking companies.

Ingersoll Cutting Tools expands its HiPOSMicro and ChipSurfer lines for use on Swiss-type machines, lathe live spindles and small spindle machining centers. These lines offer small-diameter solid carbide and indexable tools (0. 250" to 0.
Angers collet tooling connects to its Hi-PosMicro indexable end mills and chip-surfer solid carbide tipped tooling lines. Worn tooling can be replaced on a machine in seconds with 0.0005" axial and radial repeatability. This tooling is said to increase productivity with higher feed rates, better finishes and longer
This article tells how a shop used infomation available on the Web to solve a tough production problem on its shop floor.
The SP6H/SP6N series of S-Max high-feed face mills is said to represent a combination of robust edge strength and high-feed capability that provides a hybrid approach to metalcutting applications. The high-feed capability is made possible by an 80-degree lead angle for an extreme (5x) chip thinning factor. Two inse
• Ingersoll Cutting Tools features its TaeguTurn grades in its 2007-2008 catalog • All grades are listed with its characteristics and applications as well as the materials it is available in • Chipbreakers are also included, illustrated with diagrams .
With the switch from a ground top-notch tool to a pressed Ingersoll threading form tool on one high-volume job, Warren Screw Machine eliminated 2 minutes of hand deburring per part. Not incidentally, the company also lopped 20 seconds per part off the threading cycle.
The cost of APT, a key ingredient in tungsten carbide cutting tools, has skyrocketed. In response to this situation and quick-change demands from its customers, Ingersoll Cutting Tools offers a modular line of solid carbide cutting tips that attach to reusable tool shanks.
Hex-Turn inserts and holders from Ingersoll have 12 cutting edges. Each corner of the insert features wiper geometry to enhance surface finish, even at high feed rates. The 45-degree angle allows high feed rates with low cutting forces.
What would it be worth to a shop to address a problem job in the morning and by afternoon, be running it 40 percent faster? That was exactly BVR Technologies’ (Rockford, Illinois) situation in regards to a standard carrier—a turned part they were machining on a regular basis.
