End Mills target aerospace and general engineering shops.
March 12, 2009 -
Available in two- and three-flute styles with choices of corner radii, MaxiMet solid carbide end mills are designed for roughing, semi-finishing, finishing, and super-finishing operations. They are suited for slotting operations up to 1 x D axially and side milling operations up to 0.5 D radial and 1.5 x D axial. Models with three-flute style utilize HARVI(TM) unequal flute spacing to reduce harmonics in cut.
MaxiMet(TM) End Mills from Kennametal Maximize High-Performance Aluminum Machining
LATROBE, PA - MaxiMet(TM) end mills from Kennametal are the high-productivity answer for aerospace and general engineering shops seeking to improve performance in machining high volumes of aluminum from parts. MaxiMet end mills are excellent where both maximum metal removal rates and superior wall and floor finishes are required.
One reason is the unique flute design that results in unsurpassed rigidity behind the cutting edges, enabling extremely high feed rates. The results are more metal removed in fewer passes, lowering costs per part. Additionally, a special edge condition and wiper facets on the MaxiMet corner geometry provide superior surface finishes. Available in two- and three-flute styles with choices of corner radii, MaxiMet end mills can be used for roughing, semi-finishing, finishing, and super-finishing operations. The only limitations are the speed and horsepower of the machine tool and the balance of the setup.
MaxiMet end mills also are excellent in thin-wall applications. They are effective in slotting operations up to 1xD axially and side milling operations up to 0.5D radial and 1.5xD axial. Three-flute MaxiMets utilize HARVI(TM) unequal flute spacing to reduce harmonics in the cut. Less vibration and tool deflection allow higher metal removal rates and machining speeds.
"With MaxiMet solid-carbide end mills, Kennametal will provide its aerospace and general engineering milling customers best-in-class cutting tools that can significantly reduce their manufacturing cost per part in high material volume removal," according to Steve Abrams, Product Manager, Kennametal.
