A Country Full of Engineering Excellence!
In an environment where the message outwardly is that
Manufacturing in New Zealand is in decline, we are constantly
heartened as we make our way around the traps. Our team
comes across pockets of industry that punch well above
their weight, both technically and commercially, so much
so, that we would like to take the opportunity to recognise
some of these businesses, and help get the message out that
manufacturing is more than ALIVE & WELL!
One such company is Howard Wright Ltd, who have been
manufacturing state of the art medical beds & stretchers for the
international market since 1976. Core to their approach is applying
continuous improvement to all activities, making processes and
performance highly visual and creating an atmosphere which
values free thinking. Ideas are captured and refined constantly.
Whether it is improving tooling, developing new processes,
streamlining factory workflow or training to work smarter and safer,
the philosophy of continuous improvement always applies.
INOX INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS
INOX MX3 Displaces – penetrates - lubricates
– protects. INOX contains no silicon,
acid, kerosene or dieselene. INOX
will not harm metal points or
surfaces, plastics, paints, enamels,
fibreglass, formica or neoprene
seals.INOX doesn’t dry out, gum
up, become gooey or sticky or
wash off with water! INOX is nonconductive, non-static, non-toxic,
non-corrosive and non-staining.
Toolmaker, Tony Hurring of Howard Wright
passes on that prior to 2002, the welded
components of their product were assembled
by hand. Today they have two Robotic welders,
with tooling & jigs having evolved to suit.
“We have introduced quicker lower profile
clamping solutions using pneumatic cylinders,
with speed of loading and unloading being key.
Once the parts are placed into position it simply takes
the push of a button, and the entire module is located
securely ready for welding. Utilising low and compact
cylinders, allows greater robot access to welds, resulting in
much less post process clean up. Likewise, on completion
all clamps are opened simultaneously and welded
assemblies removed quickly ready for the next batch”.
Contact mark@tradetools.co.nz to tell us about it – from shed based rebuild projects through to multi-million dollar ventures; if there’s great engineering going on, we would love to hear about it!

Do you work for a business that has something to crow about?
ANEROBIC ADHESIVES
LANOX is a heavy duty anti-moisture, anti-corrosion lubricant made with a high grade lubricating oil and lanolin base
with specialised chemical compounds. Lanolin is a natural wax found in animal wool especially the wool from sheep,
commonly referred as ‘WOOL FAT’ or ‘WOOL GREASE’, it has wide spread uses, cosmetics, medical, soaps, etc.
Through the centuries the Egyptians, Romans, Vikings, sailors and soldiers alike all used lanolin
as a very effective anti- corrosion and waterproofing agent for a variety of metals, materials,
timbers, to protect sails, leather, cannons, etc. Although we make INOX, a quality anti-corrosion
lubricant, there are areas where a lanolin based anti-corrosion lubricant like LANOX is
sometimes better suited for the application at hand. LANOX contains no silicon, kerosene,
acids or dieselene. LANOX is harmless to metal points & surfaces, plastics, painted &
enamel finishes, fibreglass, formica, rubber or neoprene seals. LANOX doesn’t become
sticky, gooey or gum up. LANOX is non-conductive, non-static & non-corrosive. LANOX
has neutral properties, and low flammability (NON-AEROSOL).

Q&
QA& A
Q. What is Thread Milling?
A. Thread Milling is a versatile, reliable and cost
effective process for the manufacture of internal
and external threads. It does, however, require
machines with feed drive and a suitable
3D control, so that the tool can carry out the
necessary helical interpolation movement.
Q. Why should I use Thread Milling over
Tapping?
A. The advantages of Thread Milling include
better chip control, precise thread depth and
a superior thread. Another big benefit is that
Thread Milling can reduce costs considerably,
since a variety of threads can be produced with
a single tool. This allows you to do:
• Different dimensions with the same pitch
• Blind and through hole threads
• Right-hand and left-hand threads
• Difference Tolerance classes
Q. What’s the difference between a Solid
Carbide and an Indexable Insert type?
A. The two types cover different applications.
Firstly the Solid Carbide Thread Milling Cutters
are for the production of threads from as small
as M1.6x0.35. The Indexable Insert Type is used
for bigger threads up to 6.0mm pitch or 4 TPI.
Q. What types of Thread Milling Cutters can I get?
A. There are three main types of Thread Milling
Cutters available. These are the Solid Carbide
Thread Milling Cutter, Solid Carbide Drill /
Threading Milling cutter which will drill and then
thread the hole and the Indexable Insert
type. Thread Milling can also be achieved by
using a single point tool such as an Internal
Threading bar.
TIPS & TRICKS
Q. Why should I use Solid Carbide Thread
Milling Cutters over inexpensive HSS Taps?
A. The investment you make in Solid Carbide
Thread Mills certainly pays off. The same
tool does different diameter threads, left or
right hand and for different material types.
Increased tool reliability is achieved due to
better chip control. Productivity gains can be
made because of high machining speeds and
feeds. There’s reduced machine wear as no
spindle reversal is needed. Dry machining is
possible due to coated cutters. Regrinding is
also possible, achieving tool cost reduction.
These cutters can also be used on hardened
workpieces up to 57 HRc.
Q. How do the Indexable Thread Milling
Cutters compare to the Solid Carbide?
A. The same principle applies, just a different
tool. The insert cutters are ideal for the
manufacture of threads for small to large
batches. They are the most economical option
for small batch sizes. They can be used for all
low to high tensile materials, both short and
long chipping. With only a toolholder
and a few inserts
it is possible to
produce a diverse
range of thread
types, tolerances and
dimensions. Easy
to load inserts are
double sided and
at up to 40mm long
means increased
thread length
capacity for most
pitches. The advantages of Indexable Thread
Milling include the high quality inserts and
carbide grade for extra toughness and wear
resistance in all materials, meaning high cutting
speeds and better tool life. These tools offer high
cutting stability and minimum profile distortion,
even with large pitches. Thread Milling large
threads requires far less power to produce a
thread than the equivalent tap.
Q. How do I program these cutters?
A. Programming can be done by using the
current machine cycle and calculating your
feed rate, radial infeed etc. Alternatively you
can take all the guesswork out and use the
software available. This software eliminates
complicated programs and calculations. With
minimal input the program selects the optimum
cutter, identifies the best operating parameters,
and then downloads the information to your
CNC machine. This offers maximum tool life,
better chip control, reduced production time
and a perfect thread from the very first cut.
Other advantages include built-in logic that can
program a 90o or 180o arc into your cut when
needed, to eliminate vibrations and selects
radial and axial cut options. This software is
available free of charge from Trade Tools Ltd.
If you have any pearls of wisdom or simple tricks you’ve learned (either the hard way, or by rubbing shoulders with “experts”…that you are

Broken centre drill
Counter bore depth
We’ve all been there… That sickening
“crunch” as the end of the centre drill
parts company with the rest of it and
lodges in the workpiece! Now this
might seem obvious to some, but we
thought it worth passing on that by
simply grinding a relieved “vee” in the
drill body (see inset). You create a tool
that drills around the
broken remnant, leaving
a ‘column’ that is much
simpler to remove, ready
for a new centre to be
drilled.
A simple rule of thumb and a time
saver here. When counterboring
for metric caps screws, it’s worth
noting that the height of the cap
screw head is always the same as
the nominal thread size ie; M8 has
a 8.0 mm high head.
“Warming” a ceramic insert
When using ceramic inserts you should
always offer the insert up to the job and
let it “rub” for a second or two to get the
insert (and the material to be cut) up
to temperature so there is less thermal
shock for the insert. In doing this the
(usually hard) material gets up past it’s
upper critical temperature so can be
