Optimizing more exceptional demands

There are some component features or material characteristics that are best machined or even only possible to machine efficiently, with milling cutters beyond the usual scope. In large castings there are flats, cavities and bores that have to be roughed initially and depending upon the size and demands of these, there are two productivity boosting types of cutters and methods that should always be considered.

High feed milling and plunge milling are modern, versatile CNC machining methods that are very suitable for when longer tool reach is needed. Making cavities, opening up cavities and holes can be performed effectively and are easy methods to apply. The best method for larger features is constant z-level roughing while smaller features are usually best made through plunge milling or helical interpolation.

The CoroMill 210 high feed milling cutter can be used for some face milling, ramping, circular milling and plunge milling. With a ten-degree entering angle, the cutter is capable of very high feed rates and consequently large removal rates. The small entering angle results in dominantly axial cutting forces, improving milling with longer tool reach, and a favorable chip-thinning effect. This cutter is unique in that it offers a constant chip thickness all the way up to maximum chip thickness all the way up to maximum axial depth of cut. A constant maximum chip thickness is especially favorable in that there are much lower vibration tendencies.

CoroMill

The CoroMill 200 round insert milling cutter is ideal for the really rough applications. It offers extremely high cutting edge strength with very secure insert location — thus ensuring high reliability when roughing large, varying cast iron surfaces. This is a multi-purpose cutter for demanding conditions and material variations and a tool capable of providing high reliability in larger, more powerful machines with rigid set-ups. Wide optimization for safe, efficient milling is provided with the range of cutter sizes and pitches, insert sizes and geometries with new insert grades to suit operations — always the problem solver when faced with rough castings and sand inclusion.
