Seco’s JS452-L Jabro Solid2 tools suit thin-wall applications

Jabro Solid2 JS452-L long-length, solid-carbide end-mills from Seco are said to deliver increased stability and process reliability when machining thin-wall aluminium parts. The tools also make it possible for users to machine such components at extremely high speeds, says the company.

Featuring a polished HEMI Titanium DiBoride (TiB2) aluminium-inert coating having a low friction coefficient, JS452-L tools exhibit minimal material adhesion/build-up, thus improving tool life. Seco says that the coating also ensures effective chip removal and heat evacuation from the cutting zone.

JS452-L end-mills comprise 54 long-length options with diameters ranging from 8 to 20 mm, corner radii ranging from 0.2 to 6 mm and are available in both Weldon and cylindrical shank mounting styles.

Furthermore, an extra gash on the tools’ cutter geometry helps maintain the best possible radius form, as well as contributing to optimised chip flow, says Seco, an advantage when machining aircraft structural components.
