Milling

Designed for slotting operations between 4-12 mm and cutting-off operations from 4-8 mm, the 335.18 and 335.19 cutters are available in metric diameters ranging from 32 mm to 125 mm. Inch diameters range from 1.25" to 4" with widths from 0.156" to 0.50". Inserts for these cutters are available with the full range of grades, edge geometries and corner radii (0.2-6.0 mm, 0.008"-0.236"). For the greatest flexibility and ease of use, as well as superior radial and axial reach, the 335.18 and 335.19 cutters utilize modular Combimaster connections.

Iscar Metals Inc. in early March presented a series of milling and drilling demonstrations during the company's 2020 Milling & Holemaking Seminar at its Tech Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The FaceMill-Diamond features an exceptionally high number of permanently brazed cutting edges for its diameter. The cutting edges are designed for a cutting depth of up to 10 mm. Furthermore, the robust tool body absorbs the vibrations generated during machining and prevents damage to the component surface.

Both models feature rigid, robust frames along with their universal spindles for the toughest applications, all of which helps mold makers minimize machining time and maximize throughput. Mold makers require world-class milling capabilities and accuracy, which is why the new USC designs emphasize rigidity and stability. With CAT 50 spindles up to 40 horsepower, these machines deliver high-torque milling capabilities for aggressive metal removal and shorter cycle times.

Whether producing turbochargers, steering knuckles or cylinder blocks, customers can mill cast and steel parts considerably more cost-effectively with the radial insert milling program from Mapal Inc. than with previously available solutions. Since the product launch in 2018, there have been a large number of measurable successes resulting from the use of the tools in the series.

Walter has launched the new Xtra·tec XT M5008, an indexable high-feed milling cutter in the diameter range of 5/8–2½ in. (16–66 mm) that permits high feed per tooth at low axial depths of cut. Application areas range from pocketing, grooving and surface machining.

Talking ultrafine filtration of water-soluble, fully synthetic coolants, emulsions or oils contaminated by sludge or chips - the use of a suitable filter system in industrial metalworking, such as tool grinding, turning and milling, is an important parameter for success. This is because ultrafine filtration plays a key role in ensuring that the machining process produces high quality, is sustainable and economical, and keeps the wear on the installed coolant system components low. With the new UBF vacuum belt filter, filter manufacturer Vomat is presenting a high-performance system that filters grinding residues, of metals and nonferrous alloys, from a wide variety of lubricants and coolants

Tungaloy is expanding its DoFeed line of high-feed milling cutters to include AH3225 grade inserts. DoFeed is a high-feed milling cutter series with a close-pitched insert alignment, addressing various application needs where an efficient removal of large stock is required.

Grob Systems offers its G-Series universal mill/turn machining centers. The G-Series, which includes the G350, G550 and G750 5-axis universal machining centers, offers limitless possibilities for milling parts made of the most diverse materials.
