Helical HSF-7 Finishes Steel, Exotics with Increased Feed Rates
GORHAM, ME - Helical Solution has introduced the seven-flute HSF-7 end mill designed for finishing steel and exotic materials with increased feed rates, ideal for all finishing applications but especially useful for the demanding aerospace industry.
The center-cutting HSF-7 is crafted of certified premium sub-micron grain carbide and feature geometries specifically engineered to cut difficult-to-machine materials. The tools are available with an AlTiN (titanium aluminum nitride) coating for oxidation resistance and extreme hardness for peripheral milling in steels, stainless steel, cast irons, titanium alloys as well as cobalt-, nickel- and iron-based high-temperature alloys.
The tool's seven-flute design allows for higher feed rates compared to conventional end mills, and its high-helix flute design allows for free cutting at higher speeds and feeds. The HSF-7 allows operators to experience 75 percent production increases over four-flute tools and a 40 percent production increase compared to five-fluted tools.
"These tools are ideal for finishing the hardest and most-difficult-to-machine materials," says Helical Solutions National Sales Manager Scott Tiehen. "The addition of this higher feed rate while finishing with light axial depths of cut offer significant benefits in efficiency and cost to your finishing operation."
Helical recommends using high-pressure coolant, flood, mist or dry milling with air blast when machining with these tools, which are available in ¼-inch to 1 ¼-inch diameters, in stub, regular, medium, long and extra-long lengths.
