Sandvik Coromant’s CoroMill 425 is a finishing tool for cast materials used in the automotive industry. With its eight edges, it is ideal for face milling components such as engine and cylinder blocks, axle housings, brake carriers and crankcases made of GCI, NCI and CGI materials. Thanks to its setting system, the tool provides highly precise, reliable insert positioning.
On this cutting tool, the same inserts can be used as working or as wiper inserts. The wiper inserts are mounted in cassettes on the face of the tool. The insert version, with a 25-degree entry angle and optimized chamfer, is designed to reduce breakouts and burr formation on the workpiece. A choice of wear-resistant GC1010 PVD insert grade for dry milling and K20W grade for wet milling enables especially long tool life in CGI materials, the company says.
