Milling tools and methods are disclosed. The method may include moving a milling tool having at least two axially spaced apart sets of cutting inserts to an axial position within a bore in a material and rotating the milling tool about a longitudinal axis. Contact between the milling tool and a wall of the bore may be initiated in a region of the wall having a least amount of material at the axial position. The milling tool may include a tool shaft having a longitudinal axis, a first set of radially spaced cutting inserts coupled to the tool shaft, and a directly adjacent second set of radially spaced cutting inserts coupled to the tool shaft and spaced from the first set of cutting inserts along the longitudinal axis. The first and second sets of cutting inserts may be staggered from each other by at least 10 degrees.

A golf club head includes a heel portion, a toe portion, a hosel, and a striking face. The striking face includes a plurality of scorelines each having an average depth no less than about 0.10 mm, a plurality of micro-grooves each having an average depth no greater than about 0.010 mm, and a plurality of textured surface treatment regions superimposed on the micro-grooves so as to at least partially intersect the micro-grooves.

A milling tool is suggested having a base body (3), a central axis (M), and a front side (5), whereby at least two geometrically defined first front edges (9) that are arranged, respectively, at front side (5) of base body (3) exhibit a first edge section (13) facing central axis (M).

Milling tool (1) distinguishes itself by the first edge sections (13) of the at least two front edges (9) being formed in an ascending fashion towards center axis (M), so that they form a centering tip (15), and that centering tip (15) is arranged in a recessed manner in an axial direction when compared with an axial outermost point (17) of at least two of the first front edges (9).

An improved method of machines grooves forming Pearson notches in a pattern on hollow shell casings for munitions for at least one of increased functionality and/or performance. Rather than running a broach through a hollow casing, a CNC lathe with a multi-axis tool with cutting implement can precisely locate and form grooves along either an interior or an exterior surface of a hollow shell casing.

The invention relates to a groove cutting tool having: a body and a holder wherein the holder is slidably mounted in the body. The holder has a first end at which a blade is mounted and a second end, distal in a slidable direction of the holder, from the first end. A drive pinion, located towards the second end, is configured to be in rotational communication with the blade.
