Specifically designed for machining aluminium, solid carbide straight shank cutters have the versatility to machine a host of materials ranging from plastic to brass and copper.
Coated carbide roughers last longer on hard steels
Carbide roughing cutters, coated with AlTiN to reduce friction and improve lubrication, provide increased tool life while machining hardened steels at speeds ranging up to 200m/min.
Mill aluminium, brass, at high speeds and feeds
Two flute solid carbide cutter has a 50 degree right hand helix, specifically designed for machining aluminium at extremely high speeds and feeds as well as plastics and brass.
The 90 degree inclusive angle makes the 4071 series a versatile cutter capable of chamfering and countersinking operations.
The staggered tooth design provides the 4071 series with exceptional surface finishes on most materials.
Also on show at MACH will be the 2051 reduced shank Cyber series.
The two flute solid carbide cutter has a 50 deg right hand helix, specifically designed for machining aluminium and difficult to machine alloys.
Capable of machining at extremely high speeds and feeds the 2051 series can also machine plastics and brass.
This will be complimented by the new micro grain solid carbide 2082 reduced shank series of two flute ball nose cutters.
For the machining of graphite and other abrasive materials, ITC will demonstrate its 2071 and 2072 series plus the phenomenal new 2101 and 2092 series of two flute cutters with a 30 degree helix plus the 4072 series of four flute diamond coated cutters.
The wear resistant micro grain carbide end mills have a 30 degree helix for highly productive cost effective machining.
The 2071 series will cut at speeds beyond the capabilities of most modern machine tools whilst the 2072 and 4072 ball nose series can cut graphite at spindle speeds up to 20,000 rev/min at feed rates of up to 3m/min.
ITC will also exhibit the phenomenal new range of Hanita cutters.
This will include the new 4976 series for hardened steels.
Other Hanita cutters to be demonstrated include the impressive miniature rib milling cutters available in sizes from 0.3mm to 6mm rising in 0.1mm increments.
With the exception of Hanita products, all cutting tools are manufactured at ITC's state of the art grinding shop in Tamworth, UK.
Company director Peter Graves believes the facility is probably the best equipped in the UK.
ITC operates a workshop that boasts a host of new CNC grinding machines.
With grinding machines from the acknowledged World leaders such as Walter, Schneeberger, Deckel, Rollomatic, and Anca - its difficult to argue.
ITC has invested in computerised optical measuring equipment to maintain the high standards the company is renowned for and its newly installed centralised oil filtration system guarantees that tool grinding takes place under optimum conditions in clean oil to ensure repetitive accuracy.
This impressive CNC manufacturing facility provides the capability to modify tooling to specific requirements with short lead times.
The capabilities of the full range of products will be demonstrated at MACH 2006.
