MILLING CUTTER POWERS IMPROVED AEROSPACE PRODUCTIVITY
Kennametal?s Z-Plunge? milling cutter is designed for aerospace, die and mold, and general engineering applications. With a unique design for increased chip evacuation that is superior for slotting operations, the new milling cutter can increase productivity by up to 30 percent.
Four cutting edges per insert offer good economy. Positive cutting geometries reduce cutting forces and provide for increased feed rates. Coolant is delivered thru interchangeable coolant nozzles available in nine different sizes to accommodate most machines.
The new cutters are available in screw-on, end mill, and shell mill styles. Sizes range from 32 mm to 160 mm and 1.250 to 6.00 inches. Inserts, in both ground and direct-pressed forms, come in various grades to suit most workpiece materials. "These cutters offer improved performance at a reduced cost per cutting edge,? according to Dennis McNamara, global product manager, indexable milling.
