Milling Cutter with HX blades of PcBN

MAPAL has launched the first Milling Cutter with HX blades of PcBN. The HX blades have established themselves for reaming operations. Thanks to the hexagonal form they have six usable cutting edges and thus ensure very good cost-effectiveness during machining. With 63 mm diameter, for example, the newly designed milling cutter has five PcBN milling inserts. The use of proven adjustment and clamping systems guarantees the optimum backlash-free mounting of the HX blades. Since six cutting edges can be used with each indexable blade and both adjustment and changing is very simple, the new milling cutter is extremely cost-effective. The costs per part are significantly reduced. The new milling cutter with PcBN blades shows its strengths particularly in the automotive sector and in mould making where the extremely good surface finishes are demanded that the new milling cutter produces. Furthermore, the central coolant supply is directed straight at the inserts to ensure an optimum chip flow.
