CUTTING TOOLS
rigidity and can potentially reduce productivity. “This all too common scenario is where aerospace manufacturers can take advantage of Capto. Originally developed by Sandvik Coromant and now an ISO standard for the industry, Capto combines rigidity and modularity and is the only system designed to work effectively in all machining phases (turning, milling, drilling/boring). Its polygon-shaped coupling with face and taper contact provides the most defl ection resistance and highest torque transmission up to 100-mm fl ange diam- eter. Defl ection resistance and torque transmission are two key factors that need to be robust to increase productivity in machining hard metals,” said Standridge .
Coolant Concentration Makes A Big Cutting Difference The P290 indexable milling cutter from Iscar Metals Inc. (Arlington, TX) features wavy serrations on the cutting edge to shred chips into small pieces and is designed for machin- ing deep shouldering applications where choices were limited in the past. “The P290 gives the customer an option of using
an indexable milling product with replaceable inserts,” said Terry Carrington, national milling product manager. “The serrations on the cutting edges of the P290 inserts are de- signed to provide an overlapping effect between all adjacent pockets, resulting in improved wall fi nish and reducing the work hardening in materials like stainless steels, titanium, and high-temperature alloys. Cutters are available in diam- eter 1.25" up to 4.0" [31.75–101.6 mm] with extended fl ute lengths up to 4.0", said Carrington. “High-pressure coolant in this environment is always important, but equally important is the coolant concentration. We have achieved the best results while machining titanium with concentration levels of 12–14%. Titanium is an insulator of heat as opposed to a conductor of heat, thus, the majority of the heat remains in the cutting zone—as opposed to be- ing exhausted with the chip. Ground cutting edges typically perform the best.” “There are certain principles that should be applied to ev- ery machining environment. You may or may not notice any
