Shoulder mill that enables high speed machining of aluminum and non-ferrous materials
V-shaped bottom secures insert on the cutter and supports high speed machining as well as helical ramping
Applications & Features
Applications
Features
1. Secure, stable insert clamping design with unique V-shaped bottom
V shape provides counter force against the cutting force and centrifugal force.
2. Excellent cutting edge geometry for aluminum machining
3. Applicable for a wide range of machining
