Shoulder Milling Inserts

Pramet, a product brand within the Dormer Pramet organisation, has announced a significant enhancement of its LNGX12 Shoulder Milling Inserts. Following high customer demand, the cost-effective range now features new geometries including F (finishing), R (roughing) and FA (aluminium) and additional radius options from 0.4-3.0 mm. A versatile tool, the LNGX12 provides process reliability for a wide field of applications encompassing most engineering materials and milling operations, including face milling, shoulder milling, grooving, plunging, helical interpolation, ramping and progressive plunging. The company has also added new products to its range of tools for the rail industry – specifically for the re-turning of wheel-sets. Pramet’s cutting tools are used around the world in the annual production of more than eight million railway wheels and this expansion supports its growing offer for the rail sector. The new Chip Breaker TF has been designed specifically for smaller cutting depths. Insert CNMX 191140SN and associated indexable cassettes with anvils have also been added to the range, while two new grades – T5305 and T5315 – for machining of very hard wheels are now available. The grades provide very high wear resistance and toughness, as well as supporting high cutting conditions.
