Milling

TungForce-Feed, indexable small diameter high feed milling cutters with diameters ranging from ø0.375″ – ø0.625″, allows depths of cut up to 0.02″. The new cutter ensures high productivity and economy in profiling die/mold parts over conventional solid end mills and similar indexable tools. The inserts large positive rake and inclination angle geometry, combined with closer-pitched cutter bodies, allows it to be used in a broader application range, while ensuring high machining efficiency.

Walter has introduced its next generation of milling tools: the Xtra·tec^® XT (XT stands for "Xtended Technology"). Designed to achieve increased productivity and process reliability, this new generation of milling cutters is being launched with initial offerings of shoulder milling cutters and a face milling cutter. The mills cover virtually all requirements in shoulder and slot milling for all common material groups.

What do you do when you have a 0.688" diameter drill and you need a 0.697" diameter hole? This sort of question is common in shops that have a limited selection of cutting tools. Kyocera's DRV Magic Drill series can accomplish a radial offset to drill larger than the existing tool. The 0.697" hole shown was drilled in 1018 steel with a S100-DRV0688-5-05.  Inserts were SCMT060205XMECA520D and SCMT060210XMIPR1535. Speeds and feeds used were 390 SFM, F.0016 IPR. The surface finish is very good due to excellent chip evacuation.

Tungaloy’s TungForce-Rec, a new miniature shoulder milling series, features a unique clamping system offering exceptional stability in machining small pockets and slots. A shoulder milling cutter that's ideal for minature and general applications. Its V-shaped insert bottom guarantees excellent stability in high speed machining operations.

Iscar's latest addition in the PENTA series introduces a new 5-cornered insert for machining miniature parts. The unique shape and design of the insert rekindles this legacy insert by opening new frontiers for additional applications. Standard inserts now available in a wide range of widths from 0.010" – 0.125", with different edge configurations for parting, grooving, back-turning, side-turning, profiling and threading. The insert and toolholders enable the machining of miniature parts with right and left capabilities next to the shoulder of the workpiece.

Nachi’s new End Mill Series will improve your tooling cost and reduce cycle time while offering high performance machining on a wide range of materials. From cast iron, carbon steel and alloy steel, to titanium, 300/400 series stainless steels and high temperature alloys. The new design features an Aqua Mill Nano-layer coating for high heat and wear resistance, and will allow faster feed rates and better surface finishes.

Kyocera’s MFH-RAPTOR high-feed milling series allows for full radial engagement and high feed rates. This makes it possible to quickly and efficiently face off large surface areas. Using an MFH3000R14-6 face mill with FL chipbreaker shown in the video leaves an excellent 7.79 Ra surface finish. The MFH-Mini can also machine deep slots using a unique convex edge design for smooth entry into the workpiece which reduces vibration and provides excellent chip evacuation.
