I am a new cnc operator.I only have about 6 months on the machine.We use a northwood with alfa cam software.the tools we use are ADI high speed.my problem is the ogee wont run at the speed they tell me it will.I brought in my 45 hogger as far as possible but there is still about .5 of an inch of material towards the bottom of the stone that position 1 of the profile bits have to take off.I have to wind up taking 2 sometimes 3 passes with position 1 to get it to the shape of the profile,depending on which ogee i am running.   is this normal? should I get a new 45 hogger? Do I need a new position 1?       ANY advise would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Hey Ben
The tools are technically sintered as they always have been.  "Brazed" is a different process all together where the diamonds are basically glued to a metal body.
The bond(the chemical makeup of alloys that create the metal that holds the diamonds in place) and the quality of diamond are the differences in the new Fast Lane tools versus the classic version.  Now Tyrolit keeps the exact differences very close to the chest, as all tooling companies do, but the goal was to create a faster tool that maintained the same or better life at the higher speeds.  Which they were able to accomplish. 

How exactly are the Vincent Tyrolit high speed tools different from standard CNC Tooling? Are they simply brazed on better and balanced better? Or is there a difference in the diamond/steel mix on the grinding surface?

Thanks,
Ben
