Seco Tools LLC offers the Square T4-08 shoulder mill for roughing and semifinishing. The tool has four cutting edges and a tangential cutter design that imparts a fine surface finish when slotting, contouring and plunging, according to the company. The inserts mount tangentially in the cutter so the cutting forces impact the thickest parts of the inserts, allowing an increased DOC with small-diameter tools.

milling machine ( mill)
Runs endmills and arbor-mounted milling cutters. Features include a head with a spindle that drives the cutters; a column, knee and table that provide motion in the three Cartesian axes; and a base that supports the components and houses the cutting-fluid pump and reservoir. The work is mounted on the table and fed into the rotating cutter or endmill to accomplish the milling steps; vertical milling machines also feed endmills into the work by means of a spindle-mounted quill. Models range from small manual machines to big bed-type and duplex mills. All take one of three basic forms: vertical, horizontal or convertible horizontal/vertical. Vertical machines may be knee-type (the table is mounted on a knee that can be elevated) or bed-type (the table is securely supported and only moves horizontally). In general, horizontal machines are bigger and more powerful, while vertical machines are lighter but more versatile and easier to set up and operate.
- slotting
slotting
