HBC steel: Ready for take-off and landing
The first Makino MAG1 in Central Europe has been installed at HBC Steel Guaranteed Machining, a young but dynamically expanding company located in the Czech city of Olomouc. In only six years HBC Steel´s visionary owner, Pavel Hemžský, has built up a thriving job-order parts production business. Recently, he invested in a MAG1 to equip …
Machining: Turning
Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helix toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates. The tool’s axes of movement may be literally a straight line, or they may be along some set of curves or angles, but they are essentially linear (in the non mathematical sense). Usually the …

Machining: Boring
In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools), such as in boring a gun barrel or an engine cylinder. Boring is used to achieve greater accuracy of the diameter of a hole, and can be used to cut a tapered hole. …
Machining: Electrochemical machining (ECM)
Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a method of removing metal by an electrochemical process. It is normally used for mass production and is used for working extremely hard materials or materials that are difficult to machine using conventional methods. Its use is limited to electrically conductive materials. ECM can cut small or odd-shaped angles, intricate contours or cavities in hard and exotic metals, such …
Machining: Cutting tool
A cutting tool has one or more sharp cutting edges and is made of a material that is harder than the work material. The cutting edge serves to separate chip from the parent work material. Connected to the cutting edge are the two surfaces of the tool: The rake face; and The flank. The rake …
