Polished flutes and rigidity benefit end mills' aluminium machining productivity
1 min read
ITC's 3081 Cyber Series end mills were developed with leading motorsport teams and aerospace manufacturers to improve performance and productivity when machining aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
The new three flute solid carbide series of end mills have a radical geometry for exceptional surface finishes and productivity levels. The highly polished flutes assist swarf clearance by preventing waste material sticking to the cutter. This permits very high feed and speed rates and also provides high quality surface finishes.
Manufactured from high quality ultra wear resistant micro grain carbide, the composition of the 3081 Series offers improved tool life and prevents chipping on the cutting edge. The centre cutting range has a square end and right hand helix that makes it suitable for a wide variety of machining processes.
The straight shank series is available in 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 mm diameters with, respectively, 12, 15, 20, 22, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm length of cut. The 3081 Cyber Series' end mills are extremely rigid and robust for high feed machining. They have shank diameters identical to cutting diameters and optimal cutting length on cutters of 40, 50, 64, 70, 84, 90 and 100 mm length overall. The rigidity eliminates vibration and chatter and this contributes to the enhanced surface finishes and extended tool life.
