Shoulder 6 Milling Cutters

Oct. 25, 2012

Square 6 shoulder milling cutters tackle a wide range of materials, operations, and machining conditions, but from cutting diameters that range from 0.75 to 2.5 in., with a maximum cutting depth of 0.157 in. Square 6-04 is a reliable, cost-effective, first-choice solution for all general machining requirements, including square shoulder milling, face milling, slotting, plunging, and slotting by plunging. Ideal for small and medium milling machines, the Square 6 -04 offers a nickel-coated, pre-hardened cutter body, which maximizes the life of the cutter body and provides minimal insert runout.

 

Furthermore, with two different pitch configurations on the cutter body, the Square 6-04 reduces vibrations, improves surface finish, and increases component quality. For increased versatility, mounting types include Cylindrical, Weldon, Arbor, and Combimaster. The Square 6-04 employs trigonal inserts with six indexable cutting edges, providing high productivity and lowering cost per edge.

 

Additionally, the ME08 geometry is available in two different corner radii and a wide range of industry-leading carbide grades. These inserts will offer high accuracy, exacting tolerances, reduced noise, and maximum reliability in a variety of workpiece materials. Furthermore, the Square 6-04 inserts can be set to a true 90-deg. cutting angle to create clean 90-deg. walls and eliminate secondary operations. Inserts lock into place via a strong center screw placed in the same direction as cutting forces, and wiper flats optimize surface finishes.
