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.
BXA10 incorporates a crater-wear-resistant PcBN substrate and the latest multilayer PVD coating for edge toughness, enhancing the grade’s wear and fracture resistance. The latest development will provide improved productivity, tool life, and surface integrity in continuous to light interrupted cuts…
TungTurn-Jet toolholders deliver coolant strategically to the optimum position close to the cutting point of the insert. This significantly improves chip control when machining exotic materials that are prone to smearing by effectively breaking the chips into pieces and guiding them away from the…
DrillMeister incorporates a unique self-locking interface that enables simple and secure drill head exchange. Since drill heads can be replaced without having to remove the drill body from the spindle, tool setup time can significantly be reduced, eliminating presetting, offset, and touch-off of…
DuoJust-Cut features innovative insert clamping ensuring tool rigidity and stability in various parting operations. In addition to existing JXPG insert with a ground in chipbreaker on the rake face, the new JXPS insert incorporates a 3D chipbreaker pressed in to its “dual-rake” cutting edge which…
DrillMeister offers the TIDCF chamfering holder that can be attached to the TID drill shank allowing chamfering and drilling in a single pass for reduced machining times. The chamfering inserts are available for 30°, 45°, and 60° chamfers. The new TIDCF holder line can accommodate smaller drills in…
This AH9130 grade expansion encompasses the DMP line of general-purpose drilling, succeeding the popular DMC drill head for precision drilling. Developed for drilling applications, AH9130 is a nano-multilayer PVD coating consisting of three distinctive layers.
AH8015 consists of a nano-multilayered PVD coating with high aluminum content. This coating characteristic provides increased resistance against wear and built-up edge over existing grades, enabling long and predictable tool life during the machining of heat resistant superalloys and stainless…
The TungTurn-Jet system strategically directs the internal coolant jet exactly where it is needed, close to the cutting point on the insert rake face. This dramatically improves chip control during the machining of difficult-to-cut materials, which is not the case with conventional coolant delivery…
Designed for the internal grooving of bores with diameters as small as 8.0 mm (.315″) up to 24.0 mm (.945″), while promising reliable chip evacuation. The shanks are made of either steel for economy or tungsten carbide for long reach areas where tool steadiness is vital. Virtually eliminate chip…
Tungaloy expands its TungCut series of grooving tools to include a parting blade CGP32-CHP with the ability to internally supply high-pressure coolant.
