Heavy-Duty Face Milling with CoroMill 360

CoroMill 360 makes available a great potential for introducing improvements in really heavy face milling in most materials. A main advantage is the dependably high removal rate, requiring one pass instead of two for any operation. Low power consumption is also a feature, as is the capacity for higher feed rates, which means faster throughput times. Simple, quick tool handling in the most demanding conditions, with no tool setting, reduces downtime.

Titanium Milling Grade S40T for Difficult Conditions

S40T is developed for difficult conditions in titanium milling. It combines cemented carbide, having high toughness, with a thin CVD coating. The result is a grade that withstands vibration and other difficult cutting conditions for longer times in cut. The wear is predictable, making the cutting edge gradually duller without breaking.
