Enterprises of the Hinistry of Machine-Tool Building USSR have gotten
many new high-production machine tools into production during 1950.
At the Minsk Machine-Tool Plant imeni Voroshilov, a huge new planing
mr.^hine has gone into series production. This planer can handle work up to
5 tons in weight. Two vertical tool posts make it possible to machine work
on three sides at once.
The Ryazan' Machine-Tool Plant has been assigned manufacture of a new
universal-type high-speed screw-cutting machine. The new machine can do all
types of lathe work, including cutting of threads. Turning of complex pro-
files is done through an electro-former attachment which follows calibrations
on the work itself.
The Gor'kiy Milling Machine Plant is now putting out a universal high-
speed milling machine. With the use of hard-alloy cutting tools, even gears
can be cut on this machine. Spindle speeds are variable between 30 and 1,500
revolutions per minute.
A high degree of automatization of control I-S to be noted in all. the ma-

MAKE CUTTING TOOLS ON NEW AUTOMATIC -- Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva, 31 Aug 50
The Moscow Hard-Alloys Combine has recently developed a hydraulic automatic
press for making hard-alloy cutting tools. Until 1948, pressing of har'.-alloy
items was done by hand. The new press is of a type not known in any other coun-
try in the world.
NEW TOOL CUTS THREADING TIME -- Baku, Bakinskly Rabochiy, 6 Sep 50
Stakhanovites at the Leningrad Ekonomayzer Plant have developed a new type
of cutting tool which they call a reversing thread cutter. These cutting tools
cut on the return stroke of the lathe, which ordinarily is the idling stroke.
This method greatly facilitates the thread-cutting process. When the tool has
completed the required distance of cut, it cannot cut into the stop and damage
the work; the turner is able to develop high speeds to the limit.
One tool is designed for external threads, the other for internal. Their
use has made thread cutting 5 times as fast an operation as it used to be.
