Dormer Pramet Force AD milling cutter is all-rounder

The Force AD series of indexable insert milling cutters from Dormer Pramet is offered as a versatile solution for machine shops looking to reduce tooling inventory.

The universal 90° cutter features Dormer Pramet’s AD programme of indexable inserts, including the ADMX07, ADMX11 and ADMX16, making it suitable for operations that include ramping, helical interpolation and plunging.

Materials tackled include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium and nickel, and, in some cases, hardened steels, copper and aluminium.

Reliable clamping and a specially grooved body promotes fast and efficient chip removal, while supporting more accurate cutting and excellent operating safety with high stability during machining.

Diameters of 10 to 175 mm are available, with a variety of insert styles – geometries for aluminium and high feed applications have recently been added to the assortment.

Available too is a positive geometry (with a rake angle of 25°) that allows for a reduction in cutting forces, while its cutting edge shape is said to provide higher impact resistance and smooth machining.
