Milling

Learn how to use a milling vise to clamp a casting with a curved-surface datum.

The latest release of SURFCAM features toolpath associativity for the facemill cycle, the option to extend the solution's parallel lace toolpath, enhanced additive undercutting, and a total of about 30 updates. Alongside the new SURFCAM 2020.1, the optional CAD for CAM Designer module has now replaced Part Modeler.

The video proves the point—YG-1's ONLY ONE end mill provides superior cutting performance to cut where others can't. Watch how coated carbide breaks down halfway through the cut and witness how HSS CO8 can't stand the heat and stops dead in its tracks.

Learn the latest on hybrid machine tools, large-scale printed parts and material removal from CTE contributors.

Choose the right facemill lead angle by comparing force direction, chip thickness and load direction for finishing, shoulder, and roughing applications.
