Milling Cutters

GC4330 and GC4340 Insert Grades

Cutting tool and tooling systems specialist Sandvik Coromant is launching GC4330 and GC4340, two new insert grades for steel milling. With the development of advanced production technologies, such as a new substrate, Inveio coating and an improved post-treatment technology, the new grades provide great opportunities to substantially increase tool life and process security compared to the previous generation of grades, GC4230 and GC4240, which will now be superseded.

H330 Series Endmill

The H330 Series is engineered exclusively for high-speed milling of Aluminum applications.

Cutting Tools for Electric Mobility Applications

Electric mobility is becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry. The number of electrically powered vehicles produced is increasing. MAPAL already offers a wide range of innovative machining solutions for the manufacture of individual parts and components that are machined.

HARVITM Ultra 8X Helical Milling Cutter

Imagine burying a roughing tool in a block of Ti-6Al-4V titanium and ripping away more than 1,000 cm3 (61 cubic inches) of material in just one minute. If you’d been at a recent test of Kennametal’s new HARVITM Ultra 8X helical milling cutter, you’d have seen exactly that. Using a 95 mm (3.74 in.) axial depth of cut, 20 mm (0.78 in.) radially, and a feed rate of 423 mm/min. (16.65 ipm), the 80 mm (3.15 in.) diameter HARVI Ultra 8X plowed through this difficult aerospace superalloy for nearly 3 minutes straight without flinching.

Indexable Milling Advancements - Premium Performance, Maximum Value - Made in USA

From profile and ramp milling to 3D roughing and profile finishing, view footage of Dapra's new products, designed to help you maximize productivity and improve your bottom line.

The EDGE² DSS double-sided square shoulder line delivers the best indexable milling value in the industry, offering premium 90-degree performance, reduced cost per edge and a cutter replacement program.

Rough-duty RDBN ball nose finishing inserts are composed of a tougher carbide and stronger cutting edge for added chipping resistance in demanding applications.

M4258 Modular Helical Milling Cutter

The M4258 modular helical milling cutter from Walter, the most recent addition to its M4000 family of high-performance helical milling cutters, brings cost efficiency and excellent process reliability to slot milling, and can be used for ramping, pocket milling, shoulder milling and circular interpolation as well. Versatility also extends to materials, handling ISO material groups P, M, K and S.

Are your machine's best days behind it or in front of it?

Years of operation can take its toll on machine tools, but that doesn’t mean that an old machine’s best days are behind it. Microtrol Engineering helped bring four Cincinnati skin mills back from the brink of extinction with new FANUC controls motors and drives. By taking advantage of some of the advanced features of the control, they were able to overcome several issues that bothered the facility for decades.

Free Milling Training Videos from Dapra

Whether you are new to the trade or a seasoned expert, Dapra offers a free series of training videos to help maximize your milling efficiency and productivity. This training explores everything from common milling formulas and principles to how to pick the right tools for the job and program them for success – universal principles that apply regardless of your cutting tool manufacturer.

Cutting Tools and Chucks Optimized for Machining Connecting Rods

Connecting rods are highly stressed engine parts. To take account of downsizing and the reduction of CO2 emissions, connecting rods are also becoming increasingly lighter. This is achieved on the one hand through the use of high-strength and innovative materials, and on the other hand through modern production processes. This also changes the shape of the connecting rods and the variety of shapes increases. MAPAL offers the complete process for machining different types of connecting rods – whether on the transfer line or the machining center, as well as for wet or MQL machining.

»Cool Injection-Plus» PCD Milling Cutter

In November 2004, when LACH was awarded the German Innovation Prize for a newly developed technology for the cost and time efficient machining of aluminum components with a monoblock diamond cutter »dia-compact«, it was already said, “Nothing is more efficient than this … .” However, there was still something more efficient – as proven by the development of »Cool Injection-Plus», cooling directly via the PCD cutting insert.
