Usable in Left-hand cutter bodies
Iwaki, Japan – August, 2024 – Tungaloy Corporation (President: Satoshi Kinoshita, Headquarters: Iwaki, Fukushima) announces the expansion of its “DoPent” face milling cutter series with the addition of Neutral “AJ Type” inserts for non-ferrous metal machining.
Overview
The “DoPent” series features economical double-sided pentagonal inserts with 10 cutting edges, designed for face milling operations. “DoPent” offers significant reductions in cutting force (by 30%) and radial forces (by 50%) compared to competitors, thanks to its large rake angle and optimal insert positioning. This makes it especially suitable for machining thin and low-rigidity workpieces. The series also includes the “SS-FiT” mechanism, which increases rigidity and allows for more number of insert on the cutter body without compromising body rigidity, enabling high-efficiency machining. Cutter bodies are available in both bore and shank types, with tool diameters ranging from φ32 to φ315 mm (from φ1.260” to φ12.40”), including left-hand body options for use in double-headed milling machines. The insert lineup includes six types: the general-purpose “MJ Type”, low cutting force “ML Type”, and wiper inserts. Neutral inserts are also available for use with left-hand cutter bodies.
The new Neutral “AJ Type” inserts for non-ferrous metals join this lineup. Like their right-hand counterparts, these new inserts feature ground peripheral surface and polished rake face with a mirror-like finish for sharp cutting edges. This prevents the built-up edges to the cutting edge during machining, and achieving a high-quality, glossy finish. The large rake angle and deep inclination ensure excellent chip control with both right-hand and left-hand cutter bodies. The insert grade is “KS05F”, a micro-grain cemented carbide that balances wear resistance and toughness, providing exceptional reliability and long tool life for machining aluminum, copper alloys, and other non-ferrous metals.
With the addition of the new “AJ Type” inserts, the “DoPent” series will significantly reduce machining costs and improve productivity for customers across various industries, handling a wide range of materials from steel and cast iron to non-ferrous metals.
