NCMT supply BIG Daishowa economic interchangeability

BIG Daishowa FCM FullCut end mills for slot and square shoulder milling was expanded recently with the addition of FCR versions capable of multi-functional metalcutting including ramping, helical milling, shoulder milling and peck drilling. Both the FCM and FCR tooling types are now available in the Contact Grip programme. The back ends and the new front-end extensions both use the BIG-PLUS face-and-taper contact system for highly rigid, accurately concentric clamping. FullCut mills combine the economy of indexable inserts with eccentric relief of the cutting edge, normally found on solid carbide cutters. This has the effect of improving the toughness of the edge without reducing its sharpness, which results from having a high positive rake angle in both the radial and axial directions. Further advantages are reduced noise in operation as well as low cutting resistance, so the tool is both productive and accurate when used on less rigid milling machines and machining centres.
