Cutting Tools for Composites
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) are resin rich materials that present specific machining challenges, such as hole expansion and delamination, when processing holes or milling. Tool life is also an issue, as these composites are extremely abrasive. OSG comprehensive tooling solutions includes specially engineered tools featuring our patented Ultra-Fine Diamond coating.

Cutting Tools for HSRA
Heat Resistant Super Alloys present significant machining challenges, as heat from cutting forces does not disperse easily, thus transferring more rapidly to the tool and drastically reducing tool life. OSG has developed specialized tooling, such as variable rake & helix mills with advanced coating technology, to combat the excessive heat encountered when machining HRSA.

Cutting Tools for Titanium
Titanium presents significant machining challenges, especially during milling, as heat from cutting forces transfers very rapidly back into the cutting tool, instead of dispersing with the chips. OSG has developed specialized tooling, such as variable helix mills and “true” 4-flute ball nose mills with advanced coating technology, to combat the heat build-up encountered when machining Titanium Alloys.
