Solid End Mills quickly remove large amounts of metal.
Press Release Summary:
In addition to heavy roughing, CoroMill® Plura Heavy Duty End Mills are suitable for shoulder milling, full slot milling, ramping and helical interpolation in steel and stainless steel as well as cast iron and heat-resistant materials. Flute shape assures effective chip evacuation when machining large depth of cut. Design also prevents re-cutting of chips and sudden tool breakage. One grade was developed for dry machining, while another grade handles large engagements in wet machining.
Original Press Release:
New Reliable End Milling Concept
March 1st CoroMill® Plura Heavy Duty (HD) will be released to the market. This system offers a completely new solid end milling concept, developed for removing large amounts of metal quickly while providing the reliability needed for heavy roughing.
CoroMill Plura HD is the first choice solid roughing end mill for shoulder milling, full slot milling, and ramping and helical interpolation in steel and stainless steel. It can also be used with cast iron and heat-resistant materials. The tools offer secure and reliable machining in a wide range of cutting parameters.
High process security and long predictable tool life are essential in heavy roughing operations. CoroMill® Plura HD’s optimized flute shape was a result of the valuable insight gained from a Finite Element Analysis. The flute shape assures effective chip evacuation when machining a large depth of cut. The design also prevents re-cutting of chips and sudden tool breakage. By efficiently removing chips, full slot milling up to two times diameter with five-teeth end mills is possible without compromising process security. Internal coolant also promotes maximum chip evacuation and temperature control in stainless steel end mills.
The geometrical features and grades allow for exceptional metal removal rates and tool life. Two new grades have been developed; one for all-round conditions, preferably in dry machining, and one to deal with tough conditions and large engagements in wet machining. The tough face geometry was developed to cope with demanding ramping operations. Other features include differential pitch and cylindrical land to help minimize vibration and to provide predictable performance for reliable roughing.
