Higher feed rates offered for face-milling SS, CI
For the more cost-efficient machining of steel, cast iron materials and stainless steels a face milling system offers high feed rates and excellent insert edge stability..
The optimised design makes the cutters suitable for face milling, ramping and pocket milling.
The roughing cutters featuring a simple screw-type clamping system and top clamp, and the finishing cutters featuring wedge clamping, both systems permit a highly productive feed rates.
(fz >0.5 mm).
Through their large inscribed circle of 18.67mm, the OF.T07L6AF.
indexable inserts, with eight numbered cutting edges and a thickness of 6mm, make it possible to reach a cutting depth of 5mm.
Designed for high feed rates, the indexable inserts display excellent edge stability.
Thanks to the cutter design and the positive indexable insert design, power consumption for the range is low making it a highly productive solution for machining centres and CNC machines.
These milling cutters produce excellent surface finishes -even without a finishing tool it is possible to obtain a surface finish of Rz =10 micron.
