MSX High-feed Milling Cutter

Sumitomo Electric Carbide has released the MSX high-speed milling cutter, which can achieve feed rates of up to 0.055 inch per tooth (IPT). This tool includes a double clamping system to help ensure higher rigidity and accuracy, according to the company.

This milling cutter is suitable for ramping and helical applications in steel, alloyed steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.

Recommended insert grades for steel include PVD-coated ACP200 and ACP300. For cast-iron applications, PVD-coated ACK300 and CVD-coated ACK200 insert grades are recommended. The PVD-coated inserts provide good fracture resistance, while the CVD-coated insert offers excellent anti-adhesion and wear resistance, the company reports.

These tools are available in Weldon- (EW-) and cylindrical- (ELC-) type shanks.
