Manufacturers or machine shops needing a specific corner radius, or a cutter with a special tool length to keep overhang to a minimum, can now take advantage of the Sandvik Coromant Tailor Made offer for CoroMill Plura end mills. Anyone machining ISO N (aluminium) workpieces can acquire customised solid cutters to fit specific application requirements.
Quotation within 24 hours, easy ordering and delivery within 10 working days matches up to modern commercial timelines. What's more, the whole process can be facilitated online.
So what precisely can be achieved? Well, it is possible to adjust the corner radius of a tool to meet component requirements, for instance. Similarly, where vibration and/or stability is the issue, tool length can be optimised to reduce overhang. For operations with inadequate clearance it is also possible to modify the usable length of the end mill to provide sufficient clearance between the workpiece and the tool.
