Versatile multi-purpose solid carbide long life cutters August 2008
 
A new range of multi-application solid carbide two, three and four flute cutters, the MC-X branded S902, S903 and S904 can be used in many different machining applications with new and old NC/CNC machines.

Suitable for milling in a wide range of engineering materials – including steel, cast iron, titanium, nickel, copper, aluminium and synthetics – the new cutters have the added benefit of reducing inventory and saving time on tool changeover.

Maurizio Tardivo, development manager for cutters at Dormer, explains: “These highly productive multi-application cutters offer a stable design for contouring – both semi-finishing and finishing – ramping and slotting operations making this range an essential addition to any machine shop.”

Manufactured from micrograin carbide for high wear resistance and long tool life, all MC-X cutters feature a simplified geometry to maximise the performance/tool cost ratio. Their reinforced end teeth reduce chipping – particularly important on difficult to machine materials, while the flutes are designed for efficient chip evacuation.
