Chamfer Mills for High Metal Removal Rates

June 6, 2011

The new line of Super Turbo chamfer mills from Seco Tools provide high metal removal rates while reducing production costs, the company states. The cutters use the same inserts and hardware as standard Super Turbo square shoulder mills, allowing manufacturers to increase the versatility of their operations without additional spare parts.

The new chamfer mills use the same insert pocket design found in the rest of the Super Turbo family of products.

The tools feature a high positive-cutting rake angle and positive helix angle to reduce power consumption, resulting in freer cutting and reduced harmonics, the company reports.

They are available in setting angles of 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees, with a depth-of cut capability of 0.197 to 1.653 in. The new tools are available in Seco-Capto™ and Combimaster® back-end options, with standard shell mill mounting styles in either inch or metric arbor holes. All versions include internal coolant channels.

The chamfer mills are available with the full range of the line’s insert geometries and grades, including Duratomic® coating.
