“Circle-segment” cutters are designed to enable substantially more material removal with fewer passes in 5-Axis machining. Innovative end mills achieve over 80% cycle time reductions and up to 50% smoother surface finishes.
Ideal for machining turbine blades, impellers, blisks and in mold making applications, these high-performance tools, feature unique forms with large radii in the cutting area of the mills, allowing a larger axial depth of cut during pre-finishing and finishing operations.
End mills are offered in four geometries: barrel-shaped, oval form, taper form and lens shape. Oval and taper form mills are ideal for curved shapes such as blades or straight-walled pockets, freely engaging more of the cutting edge. Barrel design mills provide highly effective flank milling to the sides of spiral grooves and similar applications, while lens shape mills excel in narrow channels or in lands on molds.
Types:
- Barrel-shape
- Oval form
- Taper form
- Lens-shape
