Horn USA has developed a variety of different tooling solutions to assist end users and manufacturers of machine tools in the pipe and coupling production market.

Horn’s EH geometry mitigates parting-off cutting forces and ensures chip control, increasing rigidity and enabling higher feed rates as a result.

These features can help improve cutting tool stability, standardize cutting performance and extend tool life, enabling shops to confidently run unattended shifts.

Cutting tool technology is advancing and shops’ needs are changing as well. A leading cutting tool supplier offers this view.

The new facility’s production area is expected to triple capacity over Horn’s current Tennessee facility.

Horn USA has developed quick-change tooling systems to drastically reduce set-up and toolchange times for Swiss-type lathes, including those with through coolant.

The design freedom of additive manufacturing delivers increased performance to cutting tools. At the world’s leading exposition for machine tools, I saw various examples of this.

Designed for the Supermini tool system, Horn’s HP geometry is suitable for drilling, boring, face turning and skimming.

As Germany’s second-largest export market, the United States took delivery of 1.12 billion euros worth of German machine tools in 2017, which is up 20 percent compared to 2016. For incoming orders, the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association, VDW, is optimistic that the United States will follow a moderate growth path, thanks in part to the government’s tax cuts.

By switching to a new boring bar, a contract shop that specializes in precision Swiss turning and machining reduced one part’s cycle time by more than seven minutes.

L.A.Y. Precision Machine’s cycle time to bore a hole in a bushing was more than eight minutes. Horn USA’s Supermini type-105 tool system with an HS36-grade boring bar insert reduced this cycle time.

Various factors, including the machine, cutting tools and operator, must be taken into consideration to turn very small parts.

European Correspondent Barbara Schulz’s recent visit to U.S. shops revealed some of the technologies American manufacturers apply and the challenges they face as they work to become more globally competitive.

The company highlighted its facility expansions and new cutting tool technologies during a recent open house at its global headquarters in Tübingen, Germany.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of cutting-tools manufacturer Horn USA, which is located in Franklin, Tennessee. The Horn USA headquarters occupies approximately 25,000 square feet and can grind over 50,000 cutting tool inserts per month for grooving, parting-off and small-boring applications. A subsidiary of

This tier-one auto supplier pooled metalworking talents to develop custom groove milling tools to deliver the accuracy and finish necessary for precision brake caliper grooves.

Traditionally, a grooving tool grooves, a facing tool faces and, of course, special tools do special cuts. Improved insert manufacturing technology and toolholder design is changing this tradition, allowing specialized tooling to be used more generically in a wider variety of metalcutting applications.
