Milling Cutters

Fast and reliable milling of stainless steel, titanium, heat-resistant alloys or even CrC alloys is a huge challenge for many machine operators and tool manufacturers. To overcome the challenge, the Swiss cutting tool manufacturer Mikron Tool launched CrazyMill Cool, a product family that promises a valuable solution in a diameter range from 0.3 mm (0.012”) to 8 mm (0.315”). CrazyMill Cool Ball is the newest product of this line.

The SLOTWORX HP milling system from POKOLM Frästechnik GmbH & Co. KG, with its new shoulder facemilling inserts where r = 0.8 mm, is known for its high performance in the high-feed range. The symbiosis of an especially innovative insert geometry, with the proven carbide and an extremely smooth and wear-resistant coating, guarantees long tool life when it comes to finishing vertical and plain surfaces, according to the company.

A portable pipe beveling tool for preparing torched-off or rough cut pipe ends and making them square to help create high-integrity welded pipe joints is available from Esco Tool. The Terminator MILLHOG pipe beveling tool attaches to the ID and features a tracker which compensates for variations in the pipe’s wall thickness to maintain a precision bevel and has a dual-spring safety hanger to simplify the alignment of larger pipe.
