TungForce-Rec, a new miniature shoulder milling series, features a unique clamping system offering exceptional stability in machining small pockets and slots
Applications & Features
Applications
Features
1. Strong cutter body design
• V shape insert design enables the cutter to have a thick core and insert backing.
• Ensures high productivity and stability.
2. Extremely secure insert clamping
• V shape design prevents insert movement during machining.
• Eliminates premature insert failure, while providing machining stability.
2. Sharp and strong cutting edge for increased productivity
• High productivity and stability are achieved with the unique cutting edge design.
Large rake angle and obtuse fl ank surface provide low cutting force and anti-chipping performance.
Large rake angle off ers low cutting force but small cross section area leads to chipping on the edge.
