Slat track The slat track is located in the leading edge mechanism. This component is normally produced in high alloy steel such as maraging steel etc. More frame components Milling of 2D pocket CoroMill 390 end mill - size 17 mm insert, together with grades GC2040/GC4240 is an ideal choice for the 2D roughing of the pocket. The size 17 insert comes in a radius range of 0.4- 6.4 mm.

Spring-loaded cassettes provide easy setting for desired width. Cutters are delivered within 0.01 mm width. To achieve a close tolerance, use the H tolerance inserts. Round insert options and a vast assortment of corner radii.

The CoroMill 390 with 18 mm insert has a tougher edge for higher feeds and heavier applications. It is also available in a wide range of radius inserts.

In roughing we recommend running dry, without cutting fluid, to minimize problems with thermal cracks. Finishing In finishing, cutting fluid, or preferably mist coolant/minimal lubrication, is sometimes necessary to improve the surface finish. There are fewer problems with thermal cracks in finish milling, because the heat generated in the cutting zone is lower. With a cermet grade, CT530, sufficient surface finish can be obtained without cutting fluid. A feed, fz, that is too low can cause higher insert wear because the edge is cutting in the deformation hardened zone. top of page
