The Tungforce-Rec size 12 tool body retains all of the impressive characteristics of the smaller Tungforce-Rec 06. This includes a particularly thick core diameter and heavily supported backing behind the insert. The thick core diameter delivers improved stability during machining, particularly when cutting at elevated speeds, feeds and depths of cut. Likewise, increased support behind the insert permits the use of longer insert clamping screws. This provides greater screw-thread engagement security that ensures tool reliability and longevity when using the Tungforce-Rec at high metal removal rates. This combination also reduces vibration and improves surface finishes and insert life when machining at increased cutting parameters.

The Tungforce-Rec range is a high-density shoulder milling cutter with a secure insert clamping system that boasts excellent process security. Incorporating all of the benefits of the existing size 06 V-bottom Tungforce-Rec inserts, the new size 12 inserts offer an extended cutting edge length that is twice as long as the existing size 06 inserts. Perfect for shoulder milling, slotting, side milling, pocketing, ramping and trochoidal milling, the size 12 addition to the Tungforce-Rec now enables manufacturers to extend their machining parameters and material removal rates.

The new Tungforce-Rec 12 boasts a 50 percent higher tooth density than competing shoulder milling cutters of the same size. For example, this gives a 16 mm diameter cutter 3 insert pockets and a 50 mm diameter tool can accommodate 12 inserts. This new development allows the impressive new shoulder milling series to run at a higher feed rate than competitor products.

Cutting tool manufacturer Tungaloy has now expanded its Tungforce-Rec Series of square shoulder milling cutters to include size 12 inserts and associated tool bodies.

Babcock International Group (Babcock), the defence company, has been awarded a two-year contract extension by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to continue to provide technical support services across the UK armed forces.

A new side milling cutter for stepless adjustment of groove width has been introduced by Paul Horn, and is available through the firm's UK subsidiary, Horn Cutting Tools, Ringwood. The milling body features a central sleeve that enables the required groove width to be adjusted easily on a pre-setter.

The second body type is equipped with 12 cutting inserts of type 409 and has a cutting edge diameter of 125mm. On this tool, the cutting width with six effective cuts can be adjusted between 12.9mm and 18.8mm. Maximum milling depth is 32.5mm.

Dimensional accuracy, stability and process reliability are assured, as the torque generated during machining is dissipated into the body. Horn offers two body types, the first having a cutting edge diameter of 100mm. It is equipped with 14 type 406 indexable inserts, which produce seven effective cuts ranging from 9.6mm to a maximum of 12.9mm wide. Milling depth is up to 20mm. The second body type is equipped with 12 cutting inserts of type 409 and has a cutting edge diameter of 125mm. On this tool, the cutting width with six effective cuts can be adjusted between 12.9mm and 18.8mm. Maximum milling depth is 32.5mm. The successful 406 and 409 type indexable inserts have been chosen for the application. They are precision ground and achieve outstanding surface quality at the base of the groove and on the flanks. Double positive axial and radial rake angles ensure a soft cut. The tangentially screwed cutting insert's trailing chamfer produces a secondary cutting edge, resulting in outstanding machined surfaces. An additional free-form surface chamfer provides a stable wedge angle and very smooth milling. www.phorn.co.uk

The Tungforce-Rec 12 offers cylindrical shank tool bodies available with standard or long length shanks for additional reach into cavities and difficult to access faces. Furthermore, the series is available with modular heads with a self-centring screw coupling and also as shell mills. Tungaloy has introduced a total of 26 inserts in geometries that include the MM style for general-purpose machining with a nose radii ranging from 0.4 to 3 mm and also the AM style for aluminium alloy machining with a nose radii of 0.4 and 0.8 mm.

The NeoMill-Alu-QBig indexable insert milling cutter from Mapal stands for top performance in high-volume milling of aluminium. The tool manufacturer thus offers a very economical solution for use on high-performance machines, such as those found primarily in the aerospace industry.
