Modular heads for shoulder milling cutters introduced

Tungaloy Corp. has expanded its TungMeister changeable-head end mill system to include a modular head line for its TungForce-Rec indexable miniature shoulder milling cutters.

The cutters have a V-shaped insert, designed to avoid insert movement under high centrifugal force, while delivering machining reliability even when used at a high metal removal rate. The insert’s large rake angle helps ensure light cutting action, while the obtuse-angled flank face of the insert strengthens the cutting edge and avoids chipping.

The inserts enable a maximum DOC of 0.24 in. and are available in three different grades for numerous materials. Tool diameters are available from ø0.32 to 0.63 in.

The cutter body has a rigid structure, and the new changeable-head system features secure coupling with minimal bending at the flange and tapered shank contacts, the company states. Shank selections include cemented carbide, steel, and vibration-damping pure tungsten.
