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
