New Mira Bit

In September of 2019, NS CNC released a new version of our famous Mira Bit. This milling bit was developed by the company back in 2013. Since then, the design of the bit has been repeatedly improved. It is indispensable for 5-axis milling, as it has a maximum milling depth of 1? (26 mm) and has a spherical tip with a diameter of 0.1 mm. This new model has significantly improved flute geometry.

This achieves much better removal of wax chips and increases milling efficiency. Before releasing our new milling bit, the company subjected the mill to many months of testing under various conditions. The results of these tests exceeded all of our expectations. We hope that our users will try the new bit and be as pleased with its performance as we are.

JCK Las Vegas Show

This year, JCK Las Vegas moved to another exhibition complex, which is the Sands Expo Convention Center. The center is smaller in size than Mandalay Bay, but it’s located in the heart of Las Vegas and is positioned closer to all the central hotels. But this central position has created significant difficulties with transportation. The place to stop the cars in front of the main entrance was very small, and there were so many cars and taxis that the exhibitors preferred to leave their cars several blocks away and continue on foot. The format of the show also changed a bit. There was no change in the location and the exhibit displays of major US jewelry companies.

MJSA New York Expo

The show takes place in Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York during March 10 – 12, 2019. Javits Center is a giant all-glass building of unique design on the banks of the Hudson River. The show is quite small. It is several times smaller than the show in Las Vegas, in all only a few thousand visitors. But it is very important and very effective for promoting equipment and tools in the jewelry market of New York, and especially for 47th Street.

This is the Diamond District and the center of the entire jewelry and diamond industry in the world. It is here that world prices for diamonds and jewelry are formed

Manufacturing World Japan Show, Tokyo

This year NSCNC took part in the Manufacturing World Japan show in Tokyo. This show is the world’s leading trade show for the entire manufacturing industry.
