Milling

KM4X from Kennametal represents the next generation of KM.

As the latest complement to the Mill 1 platform for finishing operations, Mill 1-7 is Kennametal's solution for finishing in small diameter milling.

The new KenFeed 2X milling solution from Kennametal is the latest development in high-feed for light to heavy end milling operations.

Kennametal introduces the revolutionary new Rodeka series of inserts for indexable milling.

The KSRM line of cutters is a new, multipurpose milling solution from Kennametal specifically engineered for titanium and stainless steel applications.

One of the most fundamental keys to running an efficient and cost-effective plant is having the right tool in the right place at the right time. While the cost of a milling or turning insert may range from a few dollars to significant investment, not having that tool available when needed can shut down an entire production line or more, resulting in missed delivery dates and lost profits. That is why tooling technology leader Kennametal Inc. is announcing new expansions of its ToolBOSS tool-management system.

By combining high clamping force and optimized interference levels, Kennametal says its new KM4X100 provides a robust connection, extremely high stiffness, and bending load capacity for greatly improved performance in machining high-strength alloys and other materials.

Experienced manufacturers know that when milling, three main considerations predominate: metal removal rate, tool life, and surface finish. All three are critical to successful metalworking, but often one will predominate. Manufacturers facing parts requiring 90-degree shoulders also know that achieving true 90-degree shoulders and minimizing the scallop or step marks between passes absolutely requires a high-performance cutter. The new Mill 4-15 platform from Kennametal is that best-in-class system, according to the company.

With eight cutting edges, the new KSSM8+ face milling platform from Kennametal is focused on maximum metal-cutting performance in cast irons and steel workpieces at a low cost.

With approximately 25 percent longer tool life, the new KCSM30 milling grade from Kennametal directly reduces cost-per-part for shops working on titanium, according to the company.
