In addition, the SEC-Sumi Dual Mill (DFC Type) range of milling cutters that accept the new inserts provide high stability under cut and especially when high feed rate conditions are involved, says the company.
The development of the DFC Type spans shank bodies in standard and fine pitch between 25 and 63 mm diameter with between two and seven teeth, and shell-mill cutters in standard, fine and extra fine pitch between 50 and 160 mm diameter with between four and 16 teeth. Also, three chipbreaker inserts are available for steel and cast iron in L, G and H stylesSumitomo offers six-corner DFC milling cutters and inserts
Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal now offers a double-sided milling insert with six corners that maximises the benefit from higher indexing accuracy by separating the location area from the cutting edge so it is able to match the machining accuracy of single-sided inserts.
