Extra Flutes for Extended Flute Milling in High-Temp Alloys

NuMax Ilock from Ingersoll Cutting Tools offers the next step in the evolution in extended flute milling tools. NuMax Ilock offers an extra flute per diameter for greater productivity in high temp alloys which are found today in aerospace components.

Tangentially mounted inserts allow for smooth uniform chip formation at high feed rates. The patented end-station fully supports the insert for reliable operation and unobstructed chip evacuation. End station inserts are available from .031 to .250 corner radius with zero cutter body modifications. Designed for titanium, steel, stainless steel, high temp alloys and irons. Premium milling grades and the latest post-coating treatment technology.

Related Glossary Terms

  • alloys

    alloys

    Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.

  • feed

    feed

    Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.

  • gang cutting ( milling)

    gang cutting ( milling)

    Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.

  • milling

    milling

    Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
