Small diameter high feed milling solution
A great cost saving alternative for solid carbide endmills
Applications & Features
Applications
Features
1. Small inserts, close pitch design
– Small insert design allows higher machining efficiency and reduced tool costs due to increased number of inserts
AddDoFeed 02 inserts for cutter diameters ø8 – 25 mm
Small inserts enable close pitch and rigid design
Number of inserts per diameter comparison
2. High tool rigidity
– High tool rigidity is achieved by using higher material support below each pocket and fine thread screws, allowing this small-sized cutter to successfully withstand higher cutting force
The robust design of AddDoFeed 02 insert provides excellent fracture resistance
Shallow-pitched fine threads prevent screw from self-loosening due to higher number of threads in contact
3. Effective chip evacuation
– Chip jamming and re-cutting are challenges when machining narrow grooves and small cavities. AddDoFeed insert features an inclination on the cutting edge optimized for effective chip formation, which eliminates chip re-cutting and prolongs insert tool life
