WNT HFC06 milling cutters extend insert economies to smaller diameters

WNT HFC06 milling cutters allow cutters as small as 16 mm diameter to benefit from the lower cost option of indexable inserts.

With an insert edge length of just 6 mm, the HFC06 cutters fill the gap between the economical 16 mm size of solid carbide and the more usual 25 mm start range for indexable insert cutters. This small size insert still provides a performance that can deliver feedrates of up to 1.5 mm/tooth, with a maximum 0.8 mm depth of cut. At their smallest diameter HFC06 cutters feature twin flutes, with three flutes available at 20 mm diameter and four flutes at 25 mm and five flutes at 32 mm. Shanks styles can be either screw shank or cylindrical and all feature through tool coolant as standard. The inserts are available in two geometries, one for steel, and one for heat resistant materials and they sit in the cutter body in a positive presentation to the workpiece, with the insert geometry designed to provide an extremely soft and quiet cutting action for a stable and vibration free machining process. HFC06 inserts and cutter bodies are available ex-stock for guaranteed next day, before noon, delivery if ordered before 18:30.
