Milling Cutters

M2131 Sky-tec Ramping Cutter

The new M2131 Sky·tec Ramping Cutter from Walter reportedly brings new, higher levels of process reliability to the machining of nonferrous metals such as the aluminum wrought alloys or aluminum lithium alloys often used in aircraft structural components. The cutter allows shorter machining time due to its high metal-removal rate and delivers long tool life thanks to the low build-up on the cutting edge.

Matsuura LUMEX Avance-25 laser sintering, milling machine

The LUMEX Avance-25 laser sintering and milling machine integrates a fiber laser for state-of-the-art metal sintering and a machining center for performing high accuracy, high-speed milling, according to machine builder Matsuura Machinery Corp., Fukui City, Japan.

The LUMEX Avance-25 reportedly eliminates conventional processes, such as mold die splitting, electrical discharge processing, electrode designing, the fabrication of additional cooling water pipes, and assembly and adjustment work.

CoroMill 316 Exchangeable-Head Milling Cutters

The new CoroMill 316 generation of exchangeable-head milling cutters from Sandvik Coromant further expands the company’s established solid, round tools portfolio by bringing higher levels of versatility and productivity to machining operations in ISO P (steel) and ISO M (stainless steel) materials. Further benefits include high reliability in almost all applications along with enhanced tool life and a silent machining process.

»Cool Injection-Plus« Monobloc Milling Cutters

LACH DIAMOND says its solution to combine the »Cool Injection« process, during which the cooling jet is guided by a PCD surface, and the chip controller »Plus« into one single tool proved to be ideal for manufacturing. Now it is possible to work with extremely high cutting speeds and feeds required for HSC machining.

PCD Milling Cutters

LACH DIAMOND PCD milling cutters, with diameters from 0.6 to 450 mm (and with integrated dust extraction systems for larger diameters), scoring saws, saw blades, drills, step drills and other tools are now successfully established in the composite industry – CFRP, GRP, wood, and plastic machining - for more than 3 decades. They are also used in the production of circuit boards, furniture, flooring, laminates, airplane, wind turbines and more.

M4256, M4257 and M4258 High-Performance Helical Milling Cutters

Walter has announced the addition of the M4256, M4257 and M4258 high-performance helical milling cutters to its M4000 family. The M4000 program offers the advantages of a system insert concept that allows one insert style to be used in a variety of tools, permitting a wide array of milling operations.

High-Feed Cutters

NTK Cutting Tools offers a line of high-feed cutters (HFC) for milling aluminum. This series maximizes teeth/cutter, from seven teeth on the 50mm-dia. cutter to 22 teeth on a 125mm-dia. cutter, to reduce production time.

»dia-blue-power« PCD Cartridge Milling Cutter

LACH DIAMOND introduces its newly developed PCD cartridge milling cutter »dia-blue-power«. A PCD monoblock milling cutter with brazed cutting edges, chip and shear angle and a large chip space created the basis for better performance and cost reductions in the automobile and composite industries, according to the company.
