Advanced Carbide Tooling is offering users of Metal Masters face milling cutters free-of-charge a new type of insert clamping screw and T-bar driver for securing the patented Frustum inserts.
The material is a special magnetic alloy supplied as 26mm diameter bar.
To perform this work ACT supplied special Mircona toolholders with a 16mm square shank, 17mm reach and 21mm dedicated diameter insert support blade.
The flush-fitting insert top clamp -- a design feature throughout the Mircona range -- allows good swarf removal and effective lubrication, ensuring consistent, accurate machining.
The face grooving is performed with a main cut and two finishing cuts using a feed of 0.1 mm/rev and a surface speed of 180 m/min on an Index ABC machining centre.
Total cutting time is 83 seconds, of which the face grooving takes 20 seconds.
Each insert produces 150 parts.
