Coarse Pitch Cutter Additions Retain High Tool Rigidity
Tungaloy’s TungForce-Rec series to be showcased at IMTS 2022 now offers eight new coarse pitch cutters to its square should milling line to meet demanding application needs.
The TungForce-Rec series presented by Tungaloy America at IMTS booth #481580 is a versatile shoulder milling cutter featuring V-shaped inserts and positioning on the cutter that enables wider inserts, and thus a higher contact area. The new miniature tool’s clamping system is said to offer exceptional stability when machining small pockets and slots, and is highly rigid, a key benefit for mold manufacturing. Three insert sizes — 04, 06 and 12 — are available for small-diameter cutters covering a wide application range, including water jacket machining and mold wall finishes.
Tungaloy has added eight coarse pitch cutters to its TungForce-Rec 12 square shoulder milling cutter line. Featuring rigid cutter bodies, the cutter line is said to provide high machining efficiency for square shoulder milling operations. The new cutters are offered in imperial sizes.
In general shoulder milling operations, tool rigidity plays a critical role in achieving close tolerances and part consistency, Tungaloy notes. To adhere to this, the company’s coarse pitch cutters retain a prominent feature that provides maximum tool rigidity during demanding operations. In addition, flutes on the cutter body are designed with large chip space to promote smooth evacuation, preventing chips from clogging during operations. TungForce-Rec 12 coarse pitch cutters reportedly ensure tool reliability and process security, enabling chatter-free, stable machining.
Ultimately, Tungaloy says the TungForce-Rec 12 series enables excellent wall straightness while taking multiple passes.
