Milling Cutters

Optimized M5 milling cutters from Sandvik Coromant

In this video overview, Sandvik Coromant introduces the complete series of M5 milling cutters developed for automotive aluminum machining. Made for more productive machine operations, the milling cutters offer everything from first stage machining to super finishing. Watch this demo and discover how these new milling concepts deliver minimized cycle times and prolonged tool life.

Small TungForce-Rec04

The small size-04 inserts also allow TungForce-Rec04 to have a higher teeth density than conventional shoulder cutters of the same size, boasting two teeth for an 8 mm diameter cutter and three for a 10 mm. This allows TungForce-Rec04 to run higher feed speed than competitors when being fed at the same rate per tooth, enabling increased productivity.

High-speed electric spindle demo with micro tool

When considering options for speed, NSK America Corp. and OSG USA Inc. teamed up to highlight the benefits of proper speed applied to high-quality tooling. For the project, they machined their respective company logos onto a coin to showcase the intricate geometries and engravings that are possible with microtooling. They used a window machining process, along with NSK America’s HES510-CAT50 electric spindle and OSG USA’s AE-LNBD-N 1 mm long-neck, ballnose endmill, to achieve an ultrafine surface finish.

DoFeedTri High-Feed Milling Cutter

Ramping down, the cutter first bottom-cuts the surface with the leading insert, then further cuts the same surface with its trailing insert. DoFeedTri inserts are designed with a long “inner” cutting edge that can bottom-cut more material than conventional milling inserts when trailing the leading insert during ramp down operations. This makes DoFeedTri a perfect tool for productive ramp down operations.
