Read MoreInserts For Aggressive Metalcutting
High-performance CNC-pressed Toroid inserts from Dapra are designed for aggressive metalcutting and long tool life. These thicker inserts offer enhanced heat absorption capabilities and feature a stronger cutting edge for heavier chip loads and greater shock absorption. Additionally, positive top rake results in reduced cutting forces and lower torque.
Read MoreVariable Rake End Mills
SGS Tool Company’s Z-Carb-AP variable rake end mill offers three stages of chatter suppression resulting in a quiet, stable milling operation. In stage one, unequal flute spacing disrupts the rhythmic pattern created by the cutting edge of common end mills. This suppresses the development of damaging harmonics.
