Variable depth of cut
- For increased insert tool wear especially in ISO M materials, the depth of cut (ap) can be modified at each pass so that notch wear will develop more slowly
- Value of the offset for ap: 25–75% of APMX
2.5 to 6.5 mm (0.098 to 0.256 inch) recommended for CoroMill® MS20
Use of large radius
- A larger corner radius on the insert increases security, especially for cornering in pocket milling operations, as well as ramping with a larger ramping angle value
- The cutting force / spindle load will increase
- The surface finish will be inferior
- May lead to vibrations in overhang applications
- When used at ap ≤85% RE, the notch wear characteristic is minimized
- When used at ap ≤ 50% RE, high-feed milling strategies can be applied
Fixture limitations
- Fixturing must be considered when choosing the direction of cut and while changing direction
- A direction of cut towards the machine table offers the highest stability, followed by a rigid support directly mounted on the table
Machining challenges in ISO M
Applications
- Open and closed pocket milling
- Full slotting and hole making with helical ramping cycles
- Long overhang cavity milling
- Low engagement shoulder milling
- Multi-task turn milling
Challenges
- Chip formation
- Insert security and reliability
- Long overhang machining
- Predictable and repeatable tool life
CoroMill® MS20 solution
- Use M-M20 geometry for excellent chip formation and evacuation in sticky materials
- M-M30 geometry offers higher security in tougher materials (duplex). Higher edge line toughness of the geometry allows the insert to be used with higher productivity (high cutting data) in stable operations
- Use E-L50 geometry for long overhang applications where a sharper and hence lighter cutting edge will help reduce vibrations
- Robust steel shank design ensures better stability and less deflection
- The two cutting edges have an equal tool life and the M-M20 geometry offers predictable and gradual wear characteristics, especially in austenitic stainless steel
Machining challenges in ISO S
Applications
- Open and closed pocket milling
- Full slotting and hole making with helical ramping cycles
- Long overhang cavity milling
- Low engagement shoulder milling
- Multi-task turn milling
Challenges
- Chip evacuation
- Insert security and reliability
- Tool life
- Cutter body damage (chip rubbing)
CoroMill® MS20 solution
- Use E-L50 geometry for excellent chip formation and evacuation in sticky materials
- M-M20 and M-M30 geometries offer higher security in tougher applications in titanium and Inconel, respectively
- The higher edge line toughness of these geometries allows the inserts to be used with higher productivity (high cutting data) in stable operations
- The robust steel shank design ensures better stability and less deflection. The improved tool body material better withstands chip rubbing.
