PRODUCT News ITC scores with a long ball cutter The new 2122 Cyber Series extra long, two flute ball nosed cutter.
For the machining of complex forms and deep cavities, ITC has now developed its new 2122 Cyber Series of extra long, two flute ball nosed cutters. The exciting XXLS Series of 2122 milling cutters is the result of extensive customer feedback and research and development that now sees the Tamworth based carbide tooling specialist provide a range of high performance long reach cutters. The development work at ITC now enables the company to
offer cutting tools up to 200mm long whilst maintaining a very high level of rigidity. This exceptional rigidity is credit to a straight shank series with an upward spiral and 30 degree helix that incorporates ITC’s specialist geometries to improve surface finishes and swarf removal to reduce chatter and vibration. These benefits are also credit to the remarkable rigidity of the high performance ultra wear resistant micro grain carbide that ITC uses to produce all its carbide tooling. The 2122 Series is available in 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20mm
diameters with an overall length of 150mm for the 6 and 8mm cutters whilst the 10 to 20mm offerings are 200mm in length. The flute lengths for the series are 38, 40, 50 and 75mm for the 12, 16 and 20mm cutters. ITC engineers have tirelessly strived to achieve a product that gives the end user the optimal machining results. With the selected flute lengths and cutting geometries, ITC
