High Feed 2 cutter bodies feature stronger reinforced cores and more teeth per diameter, enabling higher feed rates to be employed and faster material removal rates to delivered. Furthermore, during high-feed milling operations, the optimised flutes of the cutter bodies evacuate chips quickly and efficiently, says Seco.
The rectangular shape of LP09 inserts, combined with the closer-pitched cutter bodies, help extend tool life beyond that achieved with square inserts. Cutter body pockets ensure consistent and precise insert positioning/seating during indexing, while high-strength screw clamps hold the inserts securely in place.
Once the launch programme has been fully completed early next year, LP09 positive inserts will be available in a full range of grades, including D12, MD15, M13, ME08 and E08. Seco Tools’ High Feed 2 cutter bodies range in size from 25 to 100 mm.
