Milling and drilling introductions

Dormer has further expanded the range of applications covered by its rotary tooling, with the introduction of several new products.

Highlights from the second of Dormer's biannual product launches include universal solid carbide end mills, cutters for steel and aluminium, and drills for deep hole applications. The Universal solid carbide cutters have been designed to offer high productivity and affordability across a wide range of materials and applications. These are available in 2-flute (S922), 3-flute (S933) and 4-flute (S944) geometry, with TiAlN coating. Dormer's solid carbide cutters for steels include both medium (S250, S252) and long length (S254, S255) end mills designed for high metal removal operations, semi-roughing, semi-finishing and finishing. All incorporate Dormer's unequal helix angle design that provides greater stability, less tool vibration and a superior finish. The solid carbide cutters for aluminium include the S143, S145 and S149, which feature extra long effective length for contouring operations involving thin or high walls. The S144 (with corner radius) can also be used for roughing, while the S540 (ball nosed) is ideal for 3D forming, profiling and several kinds of finishing operations. HSCo drills for deep hole applications complete the programme. Available in a variety of lengths - from stub to extra length – they cover drilling operations in most materials from 3xD (A920, A921), 6xD (A900, A901), 10xD (A940, A941) and 15xD (A976, A977, A978).
