Inserts For Face Milling Applications

Article From: 8/27/2007 Production Machining

Iscar is expanding its Heliocto and Feedmill families of tools with the OFMW 0706R10-FF inserts. The insert features eight Feedmill-type large radii segmented cutting edges designed to increase feeds on face milling applications. When used at small depths of cut, the inserts can run at high table feeds. For example, while taking a 0.02" depth of cut, a 0.118"-feed per tooth rate can be applied. This is possible through the Feedmill-based design of these inserts. The resulting cutting forces of this increase in feed are directed axially toward the spindle, allowing the tool to efficiently operate at these parameters.
