Tool mounting has the greatest influence on the milling result. The larger the cutting depth, the more important the size and stability of the coupling become since the radial forces are considerable when using shoulder face mills, particularly long edge milling cutters. Use Coromant Capto® couplings that provide optimum stability and the smallest deflection for all types of cutters – particularly important with long or extended tooling.
In small indexable cutters, the screw is the most sensitive and critical part for a secure and productive process. Always ensure correct mounting of the insert screw.
CoroMill® 390 is now available with Silent Tools vibration damping technology for insert sizes 07 and 11. Download handling instructions here.
What should you consider when performing a shoulder milling operation? Find useful tips and tricks here.
When choosing the most suitable number of effective cutting edges, zc, for the operation, it is essential to consider the pitch (distance between the cutting edges).
Each time a milling edge enters a cut, it is subjected to a shock load. The right type of contact between edge and material at the entry and also at the exit of a cut must be considered for successful milling.
