Tungaloy has introduced eight new barrel-shaped solid carbide endmills to its SolidMeister series.
The SolidMeister series offers a complete range of high-performance solid carbide square shoulder endmills, ball nose endmills, and high feed cutters to provide solutions for a broad range of applications, for rough to finish machining in any type of material, with high productivity and extended tool life.
New SolidMeister barrel endmills are efficient tools for complex 3D surfacing operations used in mold making, orthopedic implant work, and the machining of gas turbine blades and other freeform surfaces in the aerospace and energy industries. The endmills incorporate a cutting edge that is actually the segment of a large-diameter arc. Since the shape of the cutting edge resembles a barrel profile, the tool became known as barrel endmills, or in shop talk, simply as barrels. The large arc segment can significantly increase the stepover distances without degradation of the surface finish parameters, which means that the number of passes and, subsequently, machining time can be noticeably reduced.
The barrel endmills come in three different cutting edge profiles and features: the Long edge version features a large-radius cutting edge of 80 or 90 millimeters (3.150 or 3.543 inches) and is suited for semi-rough to semi-finish machining; the Short edge version incorporates an even larger cutting edge radius of 250 millimeters (9.843 inches) lending itself to machining high precision straight-walled pockets and curved surfaces; and the Lens-shaped version has a barrel-shape cutting edge on its end surface that is useful for machining details perpendicular to the spindle, such as the narrow channels of a tire mold surface.
The barrel endmills are available in AH710, an extremely wear-resistant PVD-coated grade that provide the tools with extended tool life and predictability in most material groups.
AddInternalCut inserts are available in two sizes: TCIG10 insert is for internal grooving of minimum bore diameter of 10.5 millimeters (.413 inches) and up. TCIG12 allows a maximum groove depth (CDX) of 3.0 millimeters (.118 inches).
Together with successful AH7025 grade for first choice, AH6235 and AH8005 grades will enhance TungCut performances in parting and grooving operations with interruptions, as well as grooving and turning operations with aggressive conditions.
SDM chipbreaker features unique T-land with variable widths and optimized rake angle that provide the insert with resistance against notch wear. Difficult metals like HRSAs are prone to cause notch wear on the insert cutting edge that can severely deteriorate insert tool life. A combination of SDM…
The series is now introducing TCS18 and TCL18 inserts designed for left-hand cuts, expanding the product lines that, up to now, has offered right-hand inserts only. Grooving and parting tools commonly used in most of the operations performed in conventional CNC lathes and Swiss machines are right-…
BallFinishNose is an effective tool in finishing and semi-finishing, particularly on geometric surfaces and complex 3D contours common to die-mold or aerospace applications. The insert features a unique asymmetric shape. This design allows users to use the same side of the insert always facing the…
DrillMeister drill sleeves are available in 16, 25, and 32 millimeters in diameters for metric sizes and 3/4 inches and one inch for imperial sizes that fit the drill holders of the same sizes equipped in Swiss lathes. All drill sleeves have a threaded connecting port on the sleeve end for easy…
The DMH drill head features a fracture resistant design that is suitable for applications that involve drilling holes through thin-walled sections of workpieces. In normal circumstances, thin walls tend to spring back on the drill after the drill pierces through and exits the hole. In the process,…
Tungaloy has expanded its economical, double-sided negative insert line with the -28 chipbreaker. Featuring a pressed-in chipbreaker geometry with a large inclination angle on the sharp cutting edge, the -28 generates free cutting action with superior chip control. In addition, a negative insert…
FixRMill uses round inserts for machining dies and molds, especially complex male-female main parts such as cavities and projections. The round inserts feature anti-rotation notches on the insert clearance side and matching locations on the pocket seats. These notches not only prevent the insert…
Tungaloy continuously expands the advantages of its AddMeisterDrill exchangeable-head drill solution into a smaller diameter range. Ten new DMC precision drill heads have been added to the line for diameters ranging from 4.0 mm (.157″) to 4.9 mm (.192″), expanding the entire range from 4.0 mm (.157…
