Facemills now have exchangeable cassettes
Face-milling cutters have an exchangeable cassett system to make easier adjustments between rough-, semi-finish steel and cast iron and mirror-fnish aluminium, cast iron and hardened steel.
Damped tools mill deep cavities and pockets
Integrated dampening offers more efficient, vibration free machining to improve the performance of cutting tools working in deep cavities and pockets.
Mill faces and shoulders to high surface finish
The four edge insert design of facing and milling cutters produce high quality finish with minimum passes making them ideal for applications such as near net shape precision forgings and castings.
Among the products being featured for the first time is a new, highly versatile CoroMill 210 milling cutter which offers both face milling and plunge milling capabilities achieved through the design of the cutter body, insert seats and the inserts themselves.
CoroMill 210 achieves high feed face milling with extremely high chip volumes removed at feed rates far above those possible with conventional face milling.
In favourable conditions, 3mm per tooth can be used and metal removal rates up to 1400cm3 minimum can be achieved.
Plunge milling with CoroMill 210 is the fastest way to mill away large volumes of metal in the axial direction.
In fact, for operations with long tool overhangs and unstable conditions, plunge milling with CoroMill 210 could be the only solution.
This is a highly productive method for internal milling of deep cavities and milling externally along deep shoulders.
The new CoroMill 300 end mill offers a highly productive combination of high speed roughing, rest milling and semi-finishing.
The programme covers endmills with diameters 10-42 mm, either with cylindrical shanks or threaded couplings, to suit solid or vibration damped holders.
This has now been extended with larger facemills having diameters up to 80mm.
CoroMill 300 is suitable for applications requiring extended set ups and capable of performing plunge milling operations.
Finally, among the new products being featured for the first time is the CoroTurn XS programme of extra small turning tools which cover holes down to 1mm diameter.
CoroTurn XS tooling solutions for internal turning, grooving and threading bring the proven performance characteristics of CoroTurn down to smaller bores, a design conceived with small part machining.
The programme comprises four sizes, CXS-04, -05, -06 and -07, each including inserts for a range of hole diameters and available in different lengths to suit different applications.
These inserts fit into boring bars designed with internal cutting fluid supply, directed at the cutting edge via two nozzles to ensure chip optimised evacuation and cooling.
Boring bars range from 10 to 25.4mm diameter.
CoroTurn XS is designed for high precision small part machining in sliding head-stock CNC machines within the automotive, watch, connector and medical industry.
