High-feed Cutters and Inserts

Kennametal has released the Stellram ™ 7792 and 7793 high-feed cutters and inserts.

The cutters direct cutting forces axially into the spindle, reducing spindle wear and improving machining stability. These face mills operate at shallow depths of cut and very high feed rates, resulting in metal removal rates up to five times greater than conventional cutters, the company reports.

In addition to high-feed face milling, the 7792 is capable of pocketing, slotting, and plunging.

The inserts are available with the company’s proprietary X-Grade® technology, which uses ruthenium as a key ingredient, combined with a cobalt binder, for superior thermalcracking and propagation resistance, according to the company.

These inserts are available in a variety of styles for numerous materials, including titanium and other difficult to machine alloys.
