M5R90
M5R90 – a new solution for roughing and semi-finishing of aluminium automotive parts

Concept description
M5R90 is the first choice for roughing to semi-finishing in shoulder milling operations of automotive aluminium components such as cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, transmission housings.
The cutter works with adjustable cartridges and supports a depth of cut of up to 8 mm (0.315 inch) with a 0.4 or 0.8 mm (0.016 or 0.031 ) radius depending on used.
This cutter performs well in roughing to semi- operations, where it is possible to reach a finishing surface of 4Rz or higher. For greater demands in surface finishing, or waviness, M5B90 is more appropriate

Features and benefits
- The cutter body is produced in a special aluminium alloy combining low weight with high toughness
- High density cutter is balanced with 10 000 rpm in a G2.5 class. This allows it to run at high speed without compromising the machine spindles
- The PCD tips are brazed in a steel cartridge which allows axial adjustments
- The PCD tips can be reground up to three times, ensuring prolonged tool life
- Several cutting edge geometries are available
Application
- Roughing to semi-finishing of aluminum and non-ferrous alloys
- Cutter diameter range of 63 - 250 mm (2.48 –84 inch)
- PCD cartridges come in four different cutting edge geometries. Depending on the cartridge used, the cutter produces a cutting depth of up to 8 mm (0.315 inch) with a 0.4 or 0.8 mm (0.016 or 0.031 inch) radius
