High-feed milling is a process that maximizes the removal of material in the shortest amount of time. If not applied properly, high-feed milling can create some improper results, which is why some manufacturers have begun to move away from the process due to what they consider reliability concerns. For machinists that would like to take […]

High-efficiency milling has gotten a lot of attention in recent years as a way to substantially increase metal removal rates with solid carbide end mills on almost any kind of milling machine. Although, a common mistake is that many shops confuse HSM (high speed machining) with HFM (high feed machining). A High Feed End Mill […]
Artificial Intelligence is digging it’s hole and marking its place in almost all of the industries we’re familiar with today, including the cutting tools industry. As more and more manufacturers turn to economical processes, robotics are seen as a way to increase productivity, improve precision and reduce labour costs. This has led to some speculation […]

Vapor deposition techniques are the preferred processes for thin coatings because the techniques produce products with superior hardness, wear resistance, smoothness and oxidation resistance on tools such as end-mills, drills and reamers. These thin coatings made through vapor deposition are typically able to function in unique, high-stress environments. Of the two general categories of vapor […]
At Epic Tool we understand that there are many different types of thread taps with various uses and purpose. On top of that, there are also many different things to look at when selecting the proper tap such as material, volume of holes, coolant supply, rigid or floating holders, as well as the tap material, […]
What is the Difference Between Mold and Die? A DIE IS a block of metal with a special shape or with a pattern cut into it that is used for shaping other pieces of metal such as coins or for making patterns A MOLD (or mould) is a container that you pour liquid metals or […]
