​Dampened blades

To machine the deep internal chambers typically up to 150mm, long, slender tools are required. The challenges are tendency to vibration and removal of the chips from the groove. Turning one of the most challenging features into a secure process is achieved by:

• The most productive and secure method for roughing is with direct grooving. To remove the chips from the chamber without jamming the WCMX GM insert splits the chip into three separate segments
• Blades longer than 4x width of the blade are designed with a patented dampening device. This allows depth of cut to be 4 times greater than without dampening.
• Oval serration blade system for best stability and accessibility. The 100mm high blade allows for best coolant delivery to assist in chip removal
• Once the bulk of material has been removed the round carbide insert together with HPC profile turns to finished shape with dedicated geometry SM

​Tulip slot milling

This feature has traditionally been broached but with new technology this has been replaced with milling. Due to the special form of the groove, engineered solutions have been developed.

Use an engineered tulip slot roughing cutter for full slot or trochoidal machining. With this unique tool, a complete profile can be achieved with the same tool. The cutter is equipped with Ilock™ tip seats for high stability and easy handling.
