Milling Cutters

Dapra Corp.'s new Mid-Feed cutters and inserts, part of its high-feed RHINO-FEEDline, provide high-feed milling, allowing for extreme feed rates in light- to moderate-DOC applications.

Hitachi Tool has recently introduced their new Epoch Deep Evolution Series End Mills designed for high-precision and high-speed milling of deep rib grooves, walls, slots and corners.

Walter USA LLC has introduced the Walter Valenite F4050 cartridge type cutter, an innovative new approach to the challenges of high-speed milling of non-ferrous materials.

Successful high-feed milling is characterized as using small depths of cut at high federates per tooth, with the result being higher metal-removal rates and increased productivity. As opposed to traditional milling, high-feed milling generates lower radial cutting forces, making it an attractive concept for roughing, copy milling, profile milling, and other applications necessitating quick removal of metal, even where longer reach is required.

Walter USA LLC has introduced the Walter Prototyp Proto-max Ultra ball-nose end mill, specially engineered for efficient machining of hard materials.

Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc. has added the WFX Series to its family of shoulder milling cutters.

The new High Feed 2 line of small diameter high feed milling tools from Seco Tools focuses on bringing high levels of productivity and reliability to modern CNC machines.

Kennametal is introducing the new BeyondTM KCPM20 grade indexable milling insert, specially engineered for high-speed dry machining in light to medium milling of steel and stainless steel parts under stable conditions.

Sandvik Coromant introduced a new full profile hob for gear milling, CoroMill 176.

New Mini-Feed cutters and inserts, part of Dapra Corp.'s high-feed RHINO-FEED line, reportedly allow for feed rates up to five times faster than normal in light-DOC applications.

OSG Tap & Die introduced the OSG PHOENIX Series, an array of high performance indexable tools for rough milling and finishing in various applications.

The latest Jabro-Solid2 JS530 Series of ball nose cutters from Seco brings increased flexibility, speed and efficiency to copy and profile milling, as well as slotting and side milling operations.
