Its unique pocket design can also carry inserts for shoulder- and face-milling operations, offering a complete package for, in particular, mould and die applications, from roughing to finishing.
A range of diameters is available, from 16 - 42 mm, and multiple types, including end-mills, modular and shell-mills are offered.
In support, an assortment of BNGX10 inserts for high feed roughing is available. The patented double-sided insert with four cutting edges provides an economical and versatile option. High feed roughing, even with long overhang, is possible, while the insert is compatible with three geometries covering most machined materials. Geometry M is for steels and cast irons, MM for low carbon steels, stainless steels and superalloys, while HM is suitable for hardened steel.
Also, a new range of Pramet ANHX10 inserts is available for finishing operations in shoulder and face milling. The single-sided insert has two cutting edges and a positive geometry for long-overhang situations, helping to decrease vibrations and reduce noise.
Both insert ranges offer a smoother cut, while a special through coolant design directs lubrication nearer to the cutting edge. This allows for high feed rates with axial depth of cut up to 1 mm. A higher ramping angle improves chip control.
