United Grinding Technologies Inc. (UGT), industry leader in grinding technology, announces the launch of a new web-based "grinding portal" GRINDING.COM, to support manufacturers utilizing the grinding process in the production of their products.
The new "grinding portal" contains information beyond UGT's product line, and will draw on generations of detailed grinding data and experience. As this site evolves, it will become a vast library of technical grinding information on a long list of applications from camshafts to turbine blades. Further, the site will include detailed information provided by manufacturers of grinding wheels, lubricants, gaging systems, and other grinding-related technology.
For visitors looking for one-on-one support, many of the pages within GRINDING.COM include phone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses directed at key UGT personnel that can offer assistance. Department-specific forms have also been developed to aid visitors with requests made electronically.Visitors to GRINDING.COM are encouraged to return often as this is not a stagnant web site. This web-based "grinding portal" is dynamic, thus the content found on the home page and throughout the site will change weekly, adding new tips and up-to-date news items about grinding technology, special promotions, and industry-related events.

Ingersoll Cutting Tools Continues History of Innovation
Ingersoll Cutting Tools pioneered the development of indexable carbide milling cutters. We were first to introduce the On-Edge tangential insert configuration. We received the first patent for an indexable ballnose end mill, and quickly followed with the first two-effective ballnose. Today, Ingersoll Cutting Tools offers the widest range of milling products in the world.
In addition to milling, we offer a full line of standard and special metal-removal tooling including turning, holemaking, high-precision boring and reaming, PCD form tooling, gun-drilling, and much more. New facilities, equipment, and technologies allow us to serve our customers at even higher levels than before.
Ingersoll's latest release, the S-Max family of 0° and 45° lead-angle face mills and slotting cutters, provides a wide variety of corner radii coupled with four different insert sizes and edge configurations to suit any application, standard or special. High shear angles and formed rake-face geometry reduce horsepower consumption, allowing your machine to be more productive. S-Max leaves a smoother surface finish from precision-ground wipers on the entire family of inserts.
Four cutting edges, strong geometry, and innovative carbide grades add up to high productivity and economical cutting!
