The cutter body diameter (25-80 mm) of the M5F90 carries brazed PCD inserts that, thanks to the application of newly devised production processes, need no adjustment and enable high feed rates without vibration, says the company. In addition, no scratches, burrs or breakages are produced on the machined part due to a combination of cutting angles, insert shape, edge preparation and cutting parameters.
Notably, roughing and finishing operations are facilitated in a single tool, saving on inventory costs. In terms of roughing, the tool works as a conventional cutter, with all rough-cutting edges positioned on the same diameter and height line. The M5F90 can machine up to 4 mm depth of cut.
With regards to finishing, this portion of the tool consists of radial and axial stepped cutting edges. Such a configuration ensures burr-free milling and good surface finish on thin-walled aluminium parts, while enabling a close pitch to avoid vibration.
Although dedicated to thin-walled milling operations on aluminium parts, such as gearbox casings and housings, the M5F90 is also able to facilitate large engagement applications across the automotive sector.
The tool completes the Sandvik Coromant milling cutter offer for aluminium automotive parts, complementing the M5B90, M5C90, CoroMill Century/590, M5Q90 and M5R90 tooling solutions.
