BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. has expanded the Kaiser KAB modular tooling system capabilities to include the rigid high-feed C-Cutter Mini chamfer mill line from BIG Daishowa Seiki.
A milling cutter from Mikron Corp. Monroe is for back chamfer milling of small contours and bores, starting from 0.4mm in diameter. The company recommends conventional milling in two steps to avoid secondary burrs.
Automatic recessing heads feed a cutter out at a right angle to the spindle's rotation axis as downward pressure is applied to the housing. This article looks at the advantages of using these units and reviews the different types of head available, including heads for special applications and multispindle automatics.
