New aerospace tooling

The new 5XD tool is designed to cut both titanium and Inconel. It has an intensified material substrate and geometry, which allows for an extremely rigid construction, substantially reducing radial side deflection resulting in improved sidewall straightness and part accuracy.

In short, it provides high quality surface finishing in intermediate machining conditions. The range will feature tools from 12mm to 32mm diameter and will all be available in a wide range of specialised coatings

With over 50 years’ experience in the industry, EDV UK was acquired this summer by North West Precision Ltd (NWP), a division of Arlington Industries, due to its technical capability land expertise in manufacturing carbide and polycrystalline diamond cutting tools for precision machining.

The acquisition further cements Arlington’s commitment to bring world-class technology to the aerospace market.

Bob Young, general manager at EDV UK says: “Our new specialised cutting tool will offer unrivalled levels of excellence to customers. It’s the first to be released under Arlington Aerospace’s stewardship. It certainly won’t be the last.”
