AM Type Insert

AM Type Insert

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 insert grade "KS05F" is a fine-grained carbide that balances wear resistance and chipping resistance, providing exceptional reliability and stable performance across a wide range of applications.

Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Headquarters: Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture) announces the addition of the "AM Type" insert for non-ferrous metal machining to its center blade multi-functional cutter "DoMultiRec".

Overview

"DoMultiRec" is a multi-functional milling cutter with a center cutting edge capable of a wide range of operations, from drilling and shoulder milling to pocket / cavity milling. By optimizing the arrangement of the inserts, the front cutting edge becomes almost flat, achieving a high flatness on the bottom during drilling, making it ideal for counterboring operations. Additionally, the inserts can be used for both center and peripheral cutting edges, with two cutting edges for center cutting and two for peripheral cutting, allowing a total of four corners per insert, making it highly economical.
