In this episode of Tooling Up, host Toni Neary is joined by Dr. Michael Gomez, Director of Manufacturing Research and Technology at MSC Industrial Supply, to discuss the growing demand for miniature cutting tools and how Accupro helps manufacturers machine smaller, more complex components accurately and efficiently.

A leading heavy structural steel fabrication company located in Georgia manufactures custom fabricated steel framing for building structures. They were looking for an abrasive that would increase productivity at a reduced cost.

Learn what materials and applications are best suited to this composite cutting material.

Machine learning can model manufacturing behavior that’s difficult to capture with physics alone. MSC’s Dr. Tony Schmitz walks through a practical example showing how to get the job done.

Shops creating precision small-part, Swiss-type and medical components that will touch the lives of countless individuals need tooling that can keep up and meet the highest requirements for health and safety.

This guide covers machine guarding, LOTO, PPE and training to help operators and safety managers prevent serious injuries on the job.

Explore the materials and precision manufacturing behind bearings built for extreme aerospace conditions.

Sanding composite materials may look straightforward, but achieving consistent, high-quality results requires far more than simply picking up a sander.

Parting (cutting-off) and grooving are often regarded as relatively simple and rarely given the same attention as other applications like turning and facing. However, it is precisely these applications, especially parting, that can present significant challenges and require a more serious approach.

In this episode of Tooling Up, host Toni Neary is joined by Alex Logan, Category Manager for MSC Industrial Supply, and Brad Heraghty, National Account Manager, to discuss how Tru-Maxx supports manufacturers from cutting and grinding to surface preparation, finishing and precision work.

In this medical CNC case study, Noga shows how automated cross-hole deburring in 17-4 PH stainless steel eliminated manual finishing and prevented thread damage.

In this in-depth Q&A, Jim Shields covers everything from process calibration basics to advanced topics like HART communication, milliamp loop testing, and the future of instrumentation.
