Big Kaiser is introducing the R-Cutter CKB Type, a modular round chamfering tool. The tool is an ultra-high feed front and back radius chamfering mill, featuring high rake angles that reduce cutting resistance and minimize burr generation. It offers an insert geometry which improves sharpness. The tool is offered in a four-insert design to cut in tight spaces and attain higher feed rates.
The connection is equipped with a floating drive pin that engages on both sides into respective pockets in the mating part. The tapers on the pins and the angles on the pockets are engineered to automatically balance the two resulting torsional forces. Additionally, the connection allows for an array of standard shanks and extensions to be adapted with the heads to create “custom” tools to extend over 16", maintaining damping near the cutting edge and managing vibration in long-overhang setups.
