CoroMill® 345

First Choice for highly productive face milling

Machining with wiper inserts

  • Use the same grade for the wiper insert and the working inserts
  • To ensure the desired effect of wiper inserts, use ground working inserts

Internal coolant

Use internal coolant for best surface finish when machining stainless steel. Apply a coolant screw for internal coolant capability.

Shim mounting

  • Position the shim with mounting indicators towards the tool body
  • Use lubrication when mounting the shim screw

Torque value

Insert screw: 3.0 Nm (26.5 in-lbs)
Shim screw: 6.0 Nm (53 in-lbs)

Application tips

Finishing with Wiper Inserts

Finishing with Wiper Inserts

Excellent surface finish can be achieved with standard inserts in combination with one or more wiper inserts. Wiper inserts work best at a high feed per revolution (fn) in larger diameter cutters with extra-close pitch and setting facilities.

How to Choose the Right Pitch

How to Choose the Right Pitch

It is always important to select the suitable pitch with the right properties for the operation.
• When machining in ISO P, use L or M pitch cutters with high fz to maintain productivity and reduce cost
• The even H and HX pitches generate a smoother sound compared to differential cutters

Keep the Cutter Engaged

Keep the Cutter Engaged

The position of the cutter in relation to the workpiece engagement and the contact which the cutter teeth have are vital factors for a successful operation.

Maximum Chip Thickness

Maximum Chip Thickness

For maximum productivity, use hex value for fz calculations.

Calculating cutting parameter according to right hex value will ensure good cutting action with better surface quality and tool life.
