Radius cutter for profile milling of complex parts

Upgraded FixRMill round insert copy mill with unique anti-rotation system

Applications & Features

Applications

Shoulder milling RFace millingSlotting RPocketingRampingProfilingPlungingHole enlarging

Features

1. Accurate and secure clamping

  • The anti-rotation system securely keeps the inserts locked in place and prevents them from moving in the pockets during machining, ensuring tool reliability and accurate indexing over various applications.

  • High productive cutter with close pitch design

Inserts per diameter density comparisons: FixRMill vs conventional round insert cutter

2. Two types of inserts

  • Both inserts can be clamped in the same pocket
  • Inserts can be selected based on the required depth of cut for best cost per edge

RQMT1204ENC8-MM

Allows up to 8 indexes for 1.4 mm or smaller D.O.C. and up to 4 indexes for up to 6 mm D.O.C.

RQMT1204ENC6-MM

Allows up to 6 indexes for 2.6 mm or smaller D.O.C. and up to 3 indexes for up to 6 mm D.O.C.

Practical examples

Example #1
Part: Mold
Material: S45C / C45
Cutter: TRRQ12M050B22.0R05 (DCX = 50 mm, CICT = 5)
Insert: RQMT1204ENC8-MM
Grade: AH3135
Cutting conditions: Vc = 125 (m/min)
fz = 1.25 (mm/t)
ap = 0.5 (mm)
ae = 50 (mm)
Application: Profiling
Coolant: Air
Machine: Vertical M/C, BT50

The competitor’s cutter resulted in edge chipping and could not complete the machining of one workpiece.
FixRMill demonstrated no edge chipping and completed one workpiece thanks to its tough AH3135 grade inserts.

Example #2
Part: Generator part
Material: SUS304 / X5CrNi18-9
Cutter: TRRQ12M050B22.0R06 (DCX = 50 mm, CICT = 6)
Insert: RQMT1204ENC8-MM
Grade: AH3135
Cutting conditions: Vc = 75 (m/min)
fz = 0.3 (mm/t)
ap = 1 (mm)
ae = 3 (mm)
Application: Profiling
Coolant: Air
Machine: Vertical M/C, HSK100

Due to a long overhang setup of 4xD and insecure anti-rotation feature, the competitor’s cutter allowed the inserts to rotate during machining, yielding damage to the insert pockets and short cutter tool life.
FixRMill prevented insert rotation thanks to its anti-rotation system, providing the cutter with security and long tool life.
