Modular Milling Tools, Duo-Lock

Kennametal India Limited offers Duo-Lock range of Modular Milling Tools. These modular end mills fit a wide variety of toolholders and adapters, including the KM4X platform. Duo-Lock is the only modular endmill solution able to compete at solid carbide levels, and outperforms its nearest modular competitor by more than two to one. That means full-width slotting at depths up to 1 x cutter diameter, and side milling up to 50 percent radial engagement at 1.5 x the diameter deep, even in stainless steel, titanium, and other high-temp aerospace alloys. Duo-Lock has unique intelligent thread design. Using FEA-based design tools, Kennametal has optimised the connection to eliminate any possibility of tool failure even at elevated loads. As a result, it handles 25 per cent more torque than its closest competitor, permitting higher feedrates and axial depths of cut, especially in long reach conditions. Assembly is easy: clean the insert and coupling, thread it by hand onto the adapter (use gloves, the edges are sharp!), and torque it down. That’s it. Variable helix angles, unequal flute spacing, and the strongest mounting available in a modular end mill make the Duo-Lock a top performer in any shop
