A new blog, CustomCarbideTools.com, offers help to manufacturers looking to decrease the costs of projects in the aerospace, building supply, marine, automotive and related industries. The blog provides videos, articles and multimedia features produced by industry experts. A comment and discussion function offers an on line forum for sharing of information, interaction and research. The first edition includes excerpts from articles written by editor of High Performance Composites, Jeff Sloan, and contributing editor for Cutting Tool Engineering, Bill Kennedy. The blog was created in response to the increasing demand for solutions needed by manufacturers that machine and assemble parts made of Carbon Fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). Editorial content will discuss how custom cutting tools are used to machine today’s advanced metals, alloys and composite materials, and conventional steel and aluminum parts. Topic categories will include decreasing project cost, manufacturing process and set-up solutions, tool type and geometries, and tool substrate and coatings. The blog consists of in depth articles, a photo archive, a topical news feed and a YouTube video library. A subscription registration form ensures that subscribers receive timely notification of new posts, article archives, RSS and social media links.
