Face milling cutter offers soft cutting action for cast iron

The Avantec Signavant SN87 is a new multiple-edged face milling cutter for cast iron processing.

Available from Stocdon, the multiple precision-ground inserts ensure a side milling performance of up to 87°. This process is guaranteed highly safe and efficient by the tangential positioning of the genuine 8-cutting-edge inserts on the main body. The positive geometry of the tool enables an extremely soft performance, and the negative insert positioning avoids any machining vibration by working against the machining forces. The highly positive cutting angle guarantees a low-heat process, because most of the energy created is dragged away with the chips, so Signavant SN87 can also be successfully used in dry milling processes. Another plus for Signavant SN87 is the high precision ground inserts, which considerably help reach the tolerance values and the desired surface quality, while quite often eliminating further finishing.
