Ingersoll says its HiPosSFeedV is a mini-sized indexable end mill line which is well suited for the small parts and miniature industries. The line comes is .250-.500″ (8-14 mm) diameter range and features a V-Shaped pocket that cradles the insert to remove insert screw stress and foster effortless insert indexing.
The pocket design is said to accommodate a substantial core diameter for rigidity and higher cutter densities. When compared to solid carbide end mills, HiPosSFeedV is said to offer the advantages of insert-indexing economy and productivity. Designed with versatility in mind, 90-degree and hi-feed inserts fit the same pocket and the cutters are capable to plunge, ramp and interpolate.
