Indexable insert milling cutter

With an extensive and diversified range of tools for reaming, drilling and milling and many years of process experience, MAPAL places a huge focus on aluminium machining. Two new products address additional customer requirements: The PCD milling cutter FaceMill-Diamond-ES and the indexable insert milling cutter NeoMill-T-Finish increase economic efficiency in aluminium milling applications. The milling cutters have fewer cutting edges than the established FaceMill-Diamond tools, making them a more cost-effective and an “Economical Solution”. With a diameter of 50 mm, for instance, the FaceMill-Diamond-ES has five cutting edges, while the classic FaceMill-Diamond has twelve. Another difference is the area of application: The FaceMill-Diamond-ES is suitable for shoulder milling, trimming and machining thin-walled parts, as well as face milling. The new milling cutter is available in the diameter range of 32 to 80 mm. Dimensions have not changed in comparison to existing FaceMill-Diamond models. Accordingly, it can be used directly in existing production, if, for example, the larger chip space of the new tools should be used. Cutting depths of up to 10 mm are easily possible. All milling cutters in the FaceMill-Diamond-ES series can be reground and re-equipped. They are exclusively available as milling cutters for arbor mounting. With the NeoMill-T-Finish, MAPAL presents a milling cutter with indexable inserts for face milling aluminium at high quantities for the first time. The finishing milling cutter with replaceable inserts functions according to the “plug and play” principle: Customers change the inserts on site without having to adjust them afterwards.
