Achieve economy through production performance with Seco Tool Inc.'s new Jabro-Solid2 (Solid Square) carbide milling cutters available in sizes from 18" to 1". These versatile square-shoulder mills are for general machining applications across a wide range of material groups from carbon steels to gray cast iron to stainless and super alloys in both wet and dry applications. Benefits include reduced inventory, lower cost per cutter, lower cost per part and fewer tool changes, according to the company.

Seco is offering the Solid2 in a JS510 series for all basic operations in steel, stainless, and cast irons and available in 2-, 3- and 4-flute cutters for side milling and/or slotting. This series features an increased core diameter allowing larger cuts for reduced cycle times and costs. Also available is a higher performance JS550 series featuring double-core technology for added stability and reduced tool deflection, thus enabling higher cutting data. This series is available in 3- and 4-flute designs for slotting and side milling. The tools have a differential-pitch design for chatter-free machining. Both families are finished with a proprietary Siron-A coating and special edge preparation for smooth chip flow and longer tool life.
