The M475 system employs precision-ground, indexable inserts with four cutting edges. Positive geometry and a round chip breaker groove together with a new carbide grade, RC4G, deliver economical, productive machining performance.
High toughness and hardness enable the machining of steels at elevated cutting speeds and also leads to significantly increased insert life.
The cutter bodies are supplied from stock as side, shell and screw-in milling cutters, the two latter variants being equipped for internal coolant supply. Side milling cutters range in diameter from 80mm to 200mm and have cutting widths of 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8mm. As shell mills, the tools are available in diameters from 63mm to 200mm and with identical grooving widths.
The screw-in cutters are for a groove width of 5mm and may be ordered in diameters from 40mm to 63mm as standard. The effective number of teeth of depends on tool diameter and ranges from two to 13. Special surface treatment of the tool body offers protection against abrasion from chips.
