Able to face-groove virtually any diameter larger than 12 mm, the VHM series inserts have maximum groove depth of 40 mm. Available from Rouse-Arno, the inserts are available in two grades, the AK-40 and the AL-40. The AK-40 grade is constructed of solid micrograin carbide for machining aluminum, brass, copper, plastics and high-temperature alloys. The AL-40 grade is equipped with high-temperature coating for machining steel, stainless steel and cast steels.
Both grades feature through-coolant capability to cool the cutting edge and improve chip evacuation. With a ground design, the inserts are available in widths of 2, 2.5, 3 or 4 mm. Custom sizes are also offered.
Diagnosing when a tool is failing is important because it sets an expectation and a benchmark for improvements. Finding out why gives us a clue for how to fix it.
Many cutter designs are available, and variable teeth spacing (or variable pitch) cutters can be used to influence milling stability. Let’s discuss why teeth spacing affects stability.
