Dormer Pramet’s S45OE milling cutter suits stainless steel

A range of cutters and inserts for economical face milling of stainless steel form part of a launch of products by Dormer Pramet.

The double positive 45° milling cutter S45OE is available in diameters up to 200 mm and supports internal coolant delivery. Its versatile design allows the same cutter body to be used with both octagonal inserts for face milling, and round inserts for face and copy milling applications.

Suitable for use on machines with limited power, the combination of inserts and cutter offers high metal removal rates at low cutting force, says the company. The risk of chatter is also reduced.

Also forming part of the launch is OEHT octagonal inserts for cutting depths of 4-10 mm, alongside REHT (round) and XEHT (wiper) inserts.

By utilising eight cutting edges – the highest number available for positive inserts – Dormer Pramet says that the octagonal range provides an economical offer.
