Dormer S Series simplifies milling options; gets expanded

More than 40 newly developed solid carbide cutters have been added to the S range end-milling range, marketed under the Dormer brand. This not only increases the range of applications covered to encompass roughing, super finishing and deep milling, but also includes material-specific cutters. A large proportion of the new assortment comes from Dormer Pramet’s S2 and S7 milling families.

The S7 program further expands the multi-material milling options, while the S2 range extends the support to cover difficult-to-machine materials.

For example, the S7 cutters bring a differential pitch option, delivering reduced chatter, maximising swarf removal at high feed rates. It offers a variety of diameters, in short to extra-long lengths, numerous flute options, a range of coatings, as well as roughing profile and corner radii options.

Dormer Pramet recently expanded this range even further with the introduction of the S713 and S716. These feature square corners to offer the user one tool capable of both roughing and finishing.

The S2 family includes all the benefits of the S7 range, with the addition of a variety of neck options for deep milling and multi-flute options for improved finishing in high strength steels and difficult-to-machine materials.

These new additions add to the existing S8 and S9 solid carbide end-mills that are suitable for operations that include slotting, side/face milling, ramping and copy milling in a range of materials. S8 and S9 include different shank styles, flute options, cut lengths and surface finishes, as well as bright and coated alternatives. Both feature a corner chamfer and modified end-teeth geometry for multiple applications and materials.
