Cincinnati, Ohio-based Diehl Steel announced Thursday that it has installed a new plate mill that allows the company to custom machine steel up to 30 inches wide and 50 inches long and 12 inches in height. As a result, Diehl can now machine larger sizes of tool steel, alloy steel, high speed steel, carbon steel, powder metal product and stainless steel to customer's exact specifications and tolerances.
Diehl said that with a 20 inch cutting head, the new plate mill eliminates the ridges that occur when cutting with smaller diameter cutters. The new plate mill is capable of producing Diehl's Accu-Square(TM) steel products that are machined to toolmaker tolerances. The result is a flat, squared and parallel final block that saves time and increases productivity.
Diehl Steel is an international supplier of quality tool steel, alloy steel, CPM powder metal, mold steel, carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum products and services.
