A Country Full of Engineering Excellence! In an environment where the message outwardly is that Manufacturing in New Zealand is in decline, we are constantly heartened as we make our way around the traps. Our team comes across pockets of industry that punch well above their weight, both technically and commercially, so much so, that we would like to take the opportunity to recognise some of these businesses, and help get the message out that manufacturing is more than ALIVE & WELL! One such company is Howard Wright Ltd, who have been manufacturing state of the art medical beds & stretchers for the international market since 1976. Core to their approach is applying continuous improvement to all activities, making processes and performance highly visual and creating an atmosphere which values free thinking. Ideas are captured and refined constantly. Whether it is improving tooling, developing new processes, streamlining factory workflow or training to work smarter and safer, the philosophy of continuous improvement always applies.
INOX INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
INOX MX3 Displaces – penetrates - lubricates – protects. INOX contains no silicon, acid, kerosene or dieselene. INOX will not harm metal points or surfaces, plastics, paints, enamels, fibreglass, formica or neoprene seals.INOX doesn’t dry out, gum up, become gooey or sticky or wash off with water! INOX is nonconductive, non-static, non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-staining.
Toolmaker, Tony Hurring of Howard Wright passes on that prior to 2002, the welded components of their product were assembled by hand. Today they have two Robotic welders, with tooling & jigs having evolved to suit. “We have introduced quicker lower profile clamping solutions using pneumatic cylinders, with speed of loading and unloading being key. Once the parts are placed into position it simply takes the push of a button, and the entire module is located securely ready for welding. Utilising low and compact cylinders, allows greater robot access to welds, resulting in much less post process clean up. Likewise, on completion all clamps are opened simultaneously and welded assemblies removed quickly ready for the next batch”.
Contact mark@tradetools.co.nz to tell us about it – from shed based rebuild projects through to multi-million dollar ventures; if there’s great engineering going on, we would love to hear about it! RICO DOUBLE FLARING TOOL KIT

ANEROBIC ADHESIVES
LANOX is a heavy duty anti-moisture, anti-corrosion lubricant made with a high grade lubricating oil and lanolin base with specialised chemical compounds. Lanolin is a natural wax found in animal wool especially the wool from sheep, commonly referred as ‘WOOL FAT’ or ‘WOOL GREASE’, it has wide spread uses, cosmetics, medical, soaps, etc. Through the centuries the Egyptians, Romans, Vikings, sailors and soldiers alike all used lanolin as a very effective anti- corrosion and waterproofing agent for a variety of metals, materials, timbers, to protect sails, leather, cannons, etc. Although we make INOX, a quality anti-corrosion lubricant, there are areas where a lanolin based anti-corrosion lubricant like LANOX is sometimes better suited for the application at hand. LANOX contains no silicon, kerosene, acids or dieselene. LANOX is harmless to metal points & surfaces, plastics, painted & enamel finishes, fibreglass, formica, rubber or neoprene seals. LANOX doesn’t become sticky, gooey or gum up. LANOX is non-conductive, non-static & non-corrosive. LANOX has neutral properties, and low flammability (NON-AEROSOL).

HIGH FEED THREAD MILLING MILLING Q& QA& A Q. What is Thread Milling? A. Thread Milling is a versatile, reliable and cost effective process for the manufacture of internal and external threads. It does, however, require machines with feed drive and a suitable 3D control, so that the tool can carry out the necessary helical interpolation movement. Q. Why should I use Thread Milling over Tapping? A. The advantages of Thread Milling include better chip control, precise thread depth and a superior thread. Another big benefit is that Thread Milling can reduce costs considerably, since a variety of threads can be produced with a single tool. This allows you to do: • Different dimensions with the same pitch • Blind and through hole threads • Right-hand and left-hand threads • Difference Tolerance classes Q. What’s the difference between a Solid Carbide and an Indexable Insert type? A. The two types cover different applications. Firstly the Solid Carbide Thread Milling Cutters are for the production of threads from as small as M1.6x0.35. The Indexable Insert Type is used for bigger threads up to 6.0mm pitch or 4 TPI. Q. What types of Thread Milling Cutters can I get? A. There are three main types of Thread Milling Cutters available. These are the Solid Carbide Thread Milling Cutter, Solid Carbide Drill / Threading Milling cutter which will drill and then thread the hole and the Indexable Insert type. Thread Milling can also be achieved by using a single point tool such as an Internal Threading bar.
TIPS & TRICKS
Q. Why should I use Solid Carbide Thread Milling Cutters over inexpensive HSS Taps? A. The investment you make in Solid Carbide Thread Mills certainly pays off. The same tool does different diameter threads, left or right hand and for different material types. Increased tool reliability is achieved due to better chip control. Productivity gains can be made because of high machining speeds and feeds. There’s reduced machine wear as no spindle reversal is needed. Dry machining is possible due to coated cutters. Regrinding is also possible, achieving tool cost reduction. These cutters can also be used on hardened workpieces up to 57 HRc. Q. How do the Indexable Thread Milling Cutters compare to the Solid Carbide? A. The same principle applies, just a different tool. The insert cutters are ideal for the manufacture of threads for small to large batches. They are the most economical option for small batch sizes. They can be used for all low to high tensile materials, both short and long chipping. With only a toolholder and a few inserts it is possible to produce a diverse range of thread types, tolerances and dimensions. Easy to load inserts are double sided and at up to 40mm long means increased thread length capacity for most
pitches. The advantages of Indexable Thread Milling include the high quality inserts and carbide grade for extra toughness and wear resistance in all materials, meaning high cutting speeds and better tool life. These tools offer high cutting stability and minimum profile distortion, even with large pitches. Thread Milling large threads requires far less power to produce a thread than the equivalent tap. Q. How do I program these cutters? A. Programming can be done by using the current machine cycle and calculating your feed rate, radial infeed etc. Alternatively you can take all the guesswork out and use the software available. This software eliminates complicated programs and calculations. With minimal input the program selects the optimum cutter, identifies the best operating parameters, and then downloads the information to your CNC machine. This offers maximum tool life, better chip control, reduced production time and a perfect thread from the very first cut. Other advantages include built-in logic that can program a 90o or 180o arc into your cut when needed, to eliminate vibrations and selects radial and axial cut options. This software is available free of charge from Trade Tools Ltd.
If you have any pearls of wisdom or simple tricks you’ve learned (either the hard way, or by rubbing shoulders with “experts”…that you are keen to share with the masses, by all means forward them through to mark@tradetools.co.nz, or pass on to your rep when he next calls.
Broken centre drill
Counter bore depth
We’ve all been there… That sickening “crunch” as the end of the centre drill parts company with the rest of it and lodges in the workpiece! Now this might seem obvious to some, but we thought it worth passing on that by simply grinding a relieved “vee” in the drill body (see inset). You create a tool that drills around the broken remnant, leaving a ‘column’ that is much simpler to remove, ready for a new centre to be drilled.
A simple rule of thumb and a time saver here. When counterboring for metric caps screws, it’s worth noting that the height of the cap screw head is always the same as the nominal thread size ie; M8 has a 8.0 mm high head.
“Warming” a ceramic insert
When using ceramic inserts you should always offer the insert up to the job and let it “rub” for a second or two to get the insert (and the material to be cut) up to temperature so there is less thermal shock for the insert. In doing this the (usually hard) material gets up past it’s upper critical temperature so can be Check out the SECO High Feed Milling Demonstration video on YouTube http://bit.ly/15jlw5D machined as desired.
