Face Milling Range, New

Pramet has launched has expanded its Face Milling Range for stainless steels with new, larger diameter cutters and inserts for greater depths of cut and more powerful machines. These latest tools include the octagonal OEHT 09 inserts, suitable for unstable conditions and machining fragile components in stainless steels and soft steels up to depths of 5 mm. The versatile tool can be used for both roughing and finishing operations, providing increased tooling economy and significant savings on machine time. In a recent product test, machining a piece of steel (3900mm x 3200mm) with coolant, the OEHT performed the roughing and finishing operation in 52 minutes. A competitor tool performed the same task in the same conditions in 252 minutes with roughing and finishing operations done separately. A new range of round inserts, REHT 24, for face and copy milling and the XEHT 09 wiper inserts add to the options available. All can be clamped into the same milling cutter, further increasing versatility and cost efficiency. A wide assortment of new milling cutters, ranging from 80 - 315mm diameter, is also available. Internal coolant delivery is supported by each cutter, including for large diameters. An overview of all the new products launched by Dormer Pramet is available in its latest 2016.1 brochure; a printed copy is available on request. Pramet is a product brand of Dormer Pramet.
