 The International Manufacturing Technology Show is one of the largest industrial trade shows in the world, featuring more than 2,000 exhibiting companies and 114,147 registrants. The event is held every two years in September at McCormick Place, Chicago. The 2016 Show runs from September 12 - 17.
Destiny Tool will be in Booth W-2092 which is located in the Tooling and Workholding Pavilion in the West Building of McCormick Place for IMTS 2016. We've been reposting and sharing both Instagram postings and YouTube videos of your applications for some time and for IMTS 2016 we want to take it one step farther. For the 2016 IMTS show we would like to showcase the parts that you have made with our tools. From now until August 31, we will be accepting applications from shops to be part of our display at IMTS 2016. We will feature a part made with our tools as well as an informational table tent that would include your shop's logo, City, State and/or Country as well as your website address so other attendees can take a look at your capabilities. We would also need some specific cutting data as to which tools were used and how. In the meantime, please be sure to use the #DestinyTool hashtag as well as the #IwannaBeOnIMTStv hashtag when posting our products. The folks at IMTS 2016 have a competition going on to see where the most interesting products are located at the show and then do an interview in the booths that qualify. This could be a great opportunity for us to talk about YOUR company and part applications! A little throwback to a 2011 customer YouTube video.... Below are excepts from the a thread on Practical Machinist talking about it.  "So I'm at my buddy's shop Saturday morning and I tell him about a recent thread on this board about machining aluminum dry. He asks me what I think the upper limits are for doing this and glancing over at his pretty Doosan VMC I reply "Let's find out". I knew I was gonna get beat up pretty bad shooting video from this angle so I fashioned a bandanna from shop rags, wore gloves, glasses, and yes.. even cut a hole in a garbage bag and wore it with pride. Anyway, here is what .036 per rev with a 1/2" tool looks like. The tool could take more but the spindle was at 133%. No wimpy chips." ...and some other comments from the same discussion thread    You can read the entire discussion here: Thread: More fun with aluminum, 1/2" end mill, .012 per tooth.. dry
Many of our competitors data tables don't provide information on slotting so we've always found it's always a bit of a conundrum for a machinist of CNC operator to compare one end mill manufacturer to another from just the speed/feed data. That's why we chose to use slotting for our chart. It's the true test of a end mills performance!
So, getting back to that secret we told you we would tell you. As we noted, and according to the chart above, a 1/2" Viper REQUIRES minimum of .006" CLPT. THAT is truly the MINIMUM. If you run under our MIN Chip Loads the tool WILL burn up from you rubbing it to death!
Truth be told, we actually don't know the max CLPT for our Vipers, Diamondbacks of Raptors for every diameter. That's one of the reasons we've got a test tool policy that encourages you to fill out a test report. Back in the old pre-CNC days the machinists had a method of finding the best chip load for a tool: 'Feed it 'til it breaks and back it down 10%" Here at Destiny Tool we're a bit old school. If you get a test tool from us by using our test tool GUARANTEED TRIAL PROGRAM and the tool breaks because you exceeded the MAX CLPT we'll replace the tool for FREE (as long as you give us the TEST TOOL report because we really really want to know where the top end is on quite a number of our tools!)
Ok, Since we're giving away secrets you might as well know that the marketing team also made another change to the chart data because they got "worried about this whole 'scaring people' thing." Where it's states "1X Diameter" in the the catalog it originally said "2X diameter" in the draft. The marketing folks claimed that their logic was that at some point some competitor is going to start to get closer to our performance numbers and it's just going to be easier to reprint a new catalog with the "2X diameter" and let them play catch up again. (1 dia RDC = 2 dia ADC). Hope we didn't scare you too much! :-) Mechanized Numerics, a machine shop located in Ann Arbor Michigan, This workpiece had a couple large open pockets so it was a good time to see the machine run at a high feedrate. Most of our parts are small in size so we don’t often have this opportunity.
Mechanized Numerics specializes in small production work in aluminum, intricate 3d features, complex surfacing, or otherwise unorthodox workpieces. Mechanized Numerics (MNL) was formed in 2009 in effort to expand the fabrication abilities of contract work being done for the fluid power industry. In the months that followed, the machine shop was expanded to encompass additional manufacturing for new projects and markets. A secondary goal of the business was to provide unique design options for automation technologies used in workcell and process development activities.
In 2011 they created a subdivision called Nummech which is meant to specifically support non-industrial products and services. Through this brand they sell a number of parts and equipment made for camera components, paintball accessories, vehicle parts, lighting accessories, and others. They provide OEM products for several companies looking to maintain a foothold in US-based production. Mechanized Numerics, a machine shop located in Ann Arbor Michigan ran a a comparative test with our Viper End Mill against a "name brand" tool. We think you'll like the results. We certainly do! We've been saying this for many years: You can rough AND finish with the same end mill!! "A demonstration example of slotting between two supposedly "high performance" aluminum-cutting endmills. The cutter and parameters shown here are IDENTICAL. However, the cutting is not excessive and one of the tools vastly outperformed the other. The proper endmill shown is a Destiny Tool Viper (V33224S). The other endmill is from a different high-end name brand that we formally used with some success in the past, though we no longer use them."
"I have nothing to gain by posting this clip. I just want to show people the ridiculous sound from supercharging an endmill that can't be supercharged under these conditions. It's by no means a scientific test, but still evident of the problems encountered with certain tools floating around the industry, and the way it *should* be with a proper cutting tool."

An example of the Diamond Back rougher machining at Mechanized Numerics machine shop, located in Ann Arbor Michigan. "A brief video showing a 3d roughing operation on these extender brackets. The previous tools couldn't handle the full-depth cut length unlike these Destiny Tool Diamondback roughers. The operation now takes half as much time, and the total part time was reduced by over 10%.

Some testing done at Rapid Prototype Machining Corp. in Modesto, CA This test was performed at the Technical-Industrial Lab at Washtenaw Community College. "We wanted to help out our friends in the motorcycle program so we made these triple-trees for them. Since they were one-off parts we didn't have the time to experiment with programming/feeds/toolholders/etc. But the pocket milling is a good demonstration of Surfcam Truemill pocketing with a very high quality Destiny Tool Diamondback roughing endmill (however the extended toolholder limited the feed a bit)."

This test was performed at the Technical-Industrial Lab at Washtenaw Community College. "Full-profile tests using a 1/2" dia Destiny tool Diamondback endmill (3 flute, 1" length). We programmed these simple blind slots and just kept juicing the feedrate until we could no longer.
