Kennametal's five-flute, high-velocity aluminum roughing solid-carbide endmill — the KOR 5 — is said to increase table feed rates up to 66% compared to commonly used three-flute tools. The KOR 5, which is capable of removing large amounts of metal and getting it away from the work zone as quickly as possible, reportedly offers a significant boost in productivity for aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers.
Kennametal debuts two new PCBN insert grades with double-sided inserts for materials up to 65 HRC. The KBH10B and KBH20B PCBN grades are said to deliver high productivity and long tool life when turning tool steels and other hardened materials.
Kennametal's latest addition to its HARVI line of high-performance solid endmills, the HARVI I TE 4-flute solid-carbide endmill features a radical new design. The HARVI I TE is said to deliver outstanding performance in a broad range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys and cast iron. And thanks to significantly reduced cutting forces, this tool can be used on any machining center or mill/turn center in the shop.
DoTriple-Mill is Tungaloy’s face milling cutter featuring a dovetail clamping system that dramatically reduces insert lift up and excessive shear force imposed on the screws during heavy duty milling. Three types of inserts fit in the same cutter body, making it the perfect cutter when various materials have to be machined and machine tool settings are limited. A bore type cutter body is available in coarse and close pitch designs, and the standard tool diameter ranges from 2.00" to 6.00" (and in metric sizes 50 to 160 mm).
BallRoughNose - New line of indexable ball nose end mills, designed to provide maximum reliability during roughing and semi-finishing. Its dovetail clamping design prevents insert movement during demanding operations. Insert rotation is restrained by the unique locking design in the insert seat. These features boost reliability during 3D profiling or plunging. The insert’s unique hybrid design allows one side for center cutting and the other for peripheral, eliminating the need to purchase two different inserts.
