EDGE2 Double-Sided DTB Cutters and Inserts

April 19, 2016

Dapra Corp.'s New EDGE2 double-sided DTB cutters and inserts feature twice the number of usable edges as single-sided button inserts for superior metal removal and value. These thick carbide inserts provide better heat and stress absorption, resulting in longer service life and increased strength, according to the company.

Geometries available for virtually all materials. Applications include die/mold, turbine-blade and complex part contour roughing, helical interpolation, pocketing, semifinishing and facemilling.
