Tungaloy has introduced eight new barrel-shaped solid carbide endmills to its SolidMeister series.
The SolidMeister series offers a complete range of high-performance solid carbide square shoulder endmills, ball nose endmills, and high feed cutters to provide solutions for a broad range of applications, for rough to finish machining in any type of material, with high productivity and extended tool life.
New SolidMeister barrel endmills are efficient tools for complex 3D surfacing operations used in mold making, orthopedic implant work, and the machining of gas turbine blades and other freeform surfaces in the aerospace and energy industries. The endmills incorporate a cutting edge that is actually the segment of a large-diameter arc. Since the shape of the cutting edge resembles a barrel profile, the tool became known as barrel endmills, or in shop talk, simply as barrels. The large arc segment can significantly increase the stepover distances without degradation of the surface finish parameters, which means that the number of passes and, subsequently, machining time can be noticeably reduced.
The barrel endmills come in three different cutting edge profiles and features: the Long edge version features a large-radius cutting edge of 80 or 90 millimeters (3.150 or 3.543 inches) and is suited for semi-rough to semi-finish machining; the Short edge version incorporates an even larger cutting edge radius of 250 millimeters (9.843 inches) lending itself to machining high precision straight-walled pockets and curved surfaces; and the Lens-shaped version has a barrel-shape cutting edge on its end surface that is useful for machining details perpendicular to the spindle, such as the narrow channels of a tire mold surface.
The barrel endmills are available in AH710, an extremely wear-resistant PVD-coated grade that provide the tools with extended tool life and predictability in most material groups.
The new AM Type insert is designed for non-ferrous metal machining, featuring a sharp cutting edge achieved through ground peripheral surface and polished rake face to a mirror-like finish. This design reduces built-up edge during machining and ensures a high-quality, glossy surface finish. The…
The new Neutral AJ Type inserts for non-ferrous metals join this lineup. Like their right-hand counterparts, these new inserts feature ground peripheral surface and polished rake face with a mirror-like finish for sharp cutting edges. This prevents the built-up edges to the cutting edge during…
The addition to the "TPW / EPW Type" series includes CBN inserts designed for high-speed cast iron finishing. In addition to the economical 2-corner standard insert, a wiper insert option is also available to achieve excellent surface finish. The insert grade is High-content CBN "…
The DXGQ/U0703 inserts feature 55° nose angle with brazed CBN tips that are designed for hard part turning applications. The inserts incorporate HP chipbreaker and use WavyJoint brazing technology for the CBN tips which are designed to provide enhanced insert reliability during hard part turning.…
The round shank toolholders are designed to fit the cylindrical shank tool holders in most Swiss type lathes. Just as with the existing ModuMiniTurn square shank toolholders, the new round shank toolholders also features extremely high repeatability accuracy, which significantly reduces downtime.
The TungHeavyGroove toolholders utilize a frontal coolant system, delivering high-pressure cutting fluid from the bottom to the flank face of the cutting edge. This innovative design enhances chip evacuation and extends insert tool life significantly. Furthermore, an extremely rigid dovetail insert…
Built on the proven features of the conventional XVCT-AJ inserts, the XVCT-AM inserts introduce an enhanced interface design. This design improves insert retention during high-speed machining while reducing raw material usage for insert production, all without compromising superior cutting…
Two new key sizes have been added: KHS-TID6-9.99 covers the drill diameter range from 6.0 to 9.9 mm (.236″ to .340″), while KHS-TID20-25.99 from 20.0 to 25.9 mm (.787″ to 1.020″). In addition to the key size that already exists for 10.0 to 19.9 mm (.394″ to .783″), these three key sizes cover the…
KKH cartridge modules take all customized fine boring tooling, whether they are designed by SwissBore or not, and turn them into a state-of-the-art fine boring solution that have one thing in common: they are all digital ready. The cartridge modules allows both radial and axial adjustments. Radial…
The development of a cutting tool that optimizes performance during vibration cutting is a game-changer. NTK offers the ultimate solution, eliminating the uncertainty in tool selection.
