Pramet SOD05 milling cutter reduces tool change-over time and inventory costs

Dormer Pramet’s SOD05 milling cutter, developed under the Pramet brand, reduces tool change-over time and inventory costs with its universal pocket that can carry octagonal, round and square inserts.

Available in diameters from 32-125 mm, it can perform face-milling, shoulder-milling, slotting, plunging and ramping in steel, stainless steel, cast iron and non-ferrous materials.

To support the new cutter, Dormer Pramet has added to its range of octagonal (OD), round (RD) and square (SD) inserts. The OD insert has eight cutting edges and low cutting forces, promoting an economical option for face-milling, while the RD inserts are suitable for high feed roughing, shallow profiling and ramping.

SD inserts have four cutting edges and offer a 90° option for square-shoulder milling, providing high depths of cut up to 10 mm. All types of inserts have the same radial and axial positions of edges – allowing for easier CNC programming and manual operations.
