TOOLS & TOOLING FEATURE VERSATILE 90-DEGREE MILLING PLATFORM


With cutters that can be used for shoulder milling, profiling, face milling, slotting, ramping, helical and circular interpolation while achieving true 90-degree shoulder milling, the Victory Shoulder Mill (VSM) 17 platform from Widia is a robust and versatile job-shop winner. Now available from ITC, the VSM17 has been designed for low horsepower machine tools. It delivers the benefit of reduced horsepower requirement and higher spindle speed and feed rates, therefore more parts per shift. An integral chip gullet design


demonstrates excellent chip evacuation and with its hardened-steel construction and hardened pocket seats the milling line exhibits high resistance to deformation. The VSM17 offers aggressive ramping capability up to 8.8° with a maximum 16.45mm depth of cut. This enables users to benefit from significantly improved productivity rates when rough machining with low powered machine tools. The VSM17 line designations include shell mills, screw-


on type cutters, cylindrical shank and Weldon shank end mills with a through coolant facility. VSM17 inserts have strong cutting edges, a corner radii and positive rake faces that provide a true 90-degree wall while providing excellent wall and floor surface finishes. This geometry enhances tool life, consistency and overall performance when measured against competitor products. Insert grade designations make it suitable for high performance machining of a multitude of material types. The VSM17 is available from ITC with starter kits available on request. These include a cutter body and 10 inserts that are now available for end users keen to improve the productivity and performance levels of their


milling operations.

CUTTING, KNURLING AND CHIPBREAKING


Floyd Automatic took enquiries at MACH for its Mowidec TT spindle centring system, its extensive range of knurling tools and the new Applitec line of ZBT and ZXT tools with laser generated chip- breakers. The innovative Mowidec-TT enables the user to perfectly centre tools on the main or counter spindles of turning centres to improve accuracy, performance and tool life simply and quickly. Centring is conducted without complicated equipment or training and is so simple that users start centring systematically, benefiting from enhanced tool life and productivity. From a cutting tool perspective, the


Positive rake faces provide a true 90-degree wall while providing excellent wall and floor surface finishes


Applitec line of ZX turning inserts has been developed to deal with long swarf fragments that are generated by problematic material types in compact work envelopes. The Applitec ZX line incorporates sharp cutting edges that can control swarf particularly well due to innovative tool geometries that have been generated by a laser processing technique. The latest ZXB and ZXT laser generated chipbreakers really impressed with their ability to deliver excellent surface finishes, precision and tool life with outstanding chip control.
