Sandvik Coromant releases CoroMill Plura HFS end-mills

Sandvik Coromant is launching a series of end-mills designed to deliver high performance and security in side milling and pocketing operations. The CoroMill Plura HFS (high feed side-milling) end-mills are for steels and stainless steel applications, but can also enhance productivity in materials such as HRSAs and titanium, says the company.

By utilising the complete cutting length of the end-mill, CoroMill Plura HFS is said to achieve a higher metal removal rate at smaller tool diameters, in comparison with indexable milling and traditional milling strategies. Features include:

  • an unequal helix flute design that assures a variable angular pitch in every axial section to increase material removal rate
  • an asymmetrical chipbreaker profile that improves chip evacuation and minimises the risk of edge chipping and tool breakage
  • a conical core shape with a smaller core diameter at the face to improve chip evacuation
