high-feed tool, it is known better for quick, shallow cuts. Yet at Shaw, each pass removes a depth of 0.075" (1.9 mm). “That’s defi nitely beyond the comfort zone for a typical high- feed tool,” Hawke said. “This is really an all-purpose tool.” Introduced less than two years ago, the Ingersoll Gold Quad F family of face mills has become the “go-to” solution for a variety of high-feed rough facing, profi ling and interrupt- ed-cut applications. It accommodates a complete selection of inserts suited to a wide spectrum of materials and machin- ing conditions. As a result, it has become one of Ingersoll’s biggest sellers in a very short time. The cutter uses an extra thick insert and extremely rigid seating for durability and process security. Insert geometry takes advantage of chip thinning for faster feeds and also features high positive rakes plus 12° lead angle to reduce lateral cutting forces. Center-screw clamping design facilitates unobstructed chip evacuation. Finally, a proprietary post coating technology smooths the surface and strengthens the bonds between coat- ing and substrate to improve performance 35% on average.
“The low spindle load readings at Shaw defi nitely dem- onstrate the tool’s free cutting geometry,” said Jolley. “That’s what enables such deep cuts without stalling or overloading medium-duty machines.” For more information from Ingersoll Cutting Tools, go to
