Milling cutter body uses button inserts for difficult tasks

As part of the Mastertool range of cutters, the 2510 highlight range also benefits from WNT’s patented silver tool coating system. This coating helps to extend the life of cutter body by protecting it from the abrasion of the material being cut. Also helping in this area is the improved swarf evacuation created by the open flutes and through tool coolant, which are standard across the range. The 2510 highlight range is available as either straight shank end-mill, threaded shank milling cutter or shell-type face mill, in diameters ranging from 20 mm through to 80 mm. The inserts for these cutters come from the Dragonskin range with four grades covering the majority of application areas, these being HCN1235 (steel); HCN2235 (stainless steel); HCN5235 (HRSA and high speed machining of stainless steel, without coolant); and HCN5240 (titanium and titanium alloys). The cutters sees vibration under cutting loads reduced to an absolute minimum, enhanced insert security, as well as improved stability. The insert seat presents the button inserts to the material being cut in a negative radial orientation, which further assists both insert stability and cutting action.
