High-feed cutter series expands with more tool diameter bodies

The DoFeedTri high-feed cutter series from Tungaloy-NTK America, Inc. is now available with a broader selection of tool body diameters, offering customers enhanced flexibility in matching tool geometry to application demands, the company says.

In roughing and ramping operations, particularly when machining stainless steels, the use of an overly large tool diameter may remove more stock than intended, even when a finishing allowance is planned. This can compromise part quality and downstream operations. 

With an increasing demand for application specific tool variants, the ability to choose the optimal diameter has become critical.

The DoFeedTri cutter series features a high-rigidity body combined with double-sided inserts offering six cutting edges.

The newly expanded lineup adds a range of tool body diameters, enabling customers to:

• Select diameters tailored to specific workpiece geometry and machining conditions, reducing unnecessary tool overhang and cutting loads.
• Prevent inadvertent overcutting and maintain surface integrity by aligning tool size more precisely with the material and operation
• Address a broader array of machining requirements by selecting from an expanded diameter range, covering situations previously unsupported.
   

By refining diameter options, Tungaloy says the expanded line enables improved process stability, longer tool life and more predictable outcomes, especially in demanding high-feed applications where precision and repeatability are key.
