Anything is possible when it comes to machining with our broad selection of general insert milling grades and geometries.Supporting inserts of different shapes, sizes and thicknesses, we developed each of these solutions with the same goal in mind: to optimize your milling operations for increased productivity.The Seco comprehensive grade and geometry range covers all material groups and allows you to achieve improved material removal rates, tool life and surface finishes.For enhanced performance, many of our variants are coated with CVD or PVD layers on the carbide substrate.Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) uses an electrical charge to vaporize solids in a vacuum. The vapor adds up to a 4-5 µm coating to add hardness, reduce friction and improve wear resistance for increased speeds and feeds.Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) injects a combination of volatile gas and metal or ceramic vapor into a heated chamber to bond a coating to the surface of a tool. The resulting 7 µm or thicker coating provides resistance to wear as well as heat.Uncoated inserts are more suited to machine non-ferrous material such as aluminium alloys. When you know the name, you know the gradeBefore you dive into the strength and the alignment of our Seco milling grades, understand the nomenclature involved.Newly launched grades follow a simple nomenclature format that allows you to quickly understand grade characteristics and suitable working ranges.For historic reasons, many grades do not adopt the new nomenclature.

Break your chip – don’t try to be a hero and blast through your hole in one go, program a quick retract to get the chip out and let the coolant in.

A hard grade combined with a too-sharp geometry can easily chip and fracture during extreme interrupted cuts or when machining in inclusions.

2021119 — With a fully stocked inventory, Harvey Tool ensures your tools are out the door the same day you place your order.

This chart provides an overview of most milling grades in the context of workpiece material. The chart also shows basic grade toughness, as well as geometric characteristics for sharpness and strength. Based on workpiece material, you can identify suitable grade/geometry combinations as a first orientation. You can also see the various types of materials a grade can machine as well as suitable geometry matches.

Need to make an extremely precise hole? While milling is typically perfectly acceptable, sometimes the tolerances require a drill and a reamer for the perfect finish.

If you need to make a very deep hole – in excess of 4x your hole diameter, choose the drill. Past this point, chip evacuation can become very difficult with an end mill, which will quickly wreck your tool and your part.

Turn up the coolant – unless you have through tool coolant, you’re going to want to be sure to turn up the coolant flow and decrease your air pressure. The coolant needs to be able to flow into the hole during your retract. Learn more about DATRON tooling

Conversely, extreme thermal and abrasive conditions will adversely impact tool life on an insert with a tough grade and heavily protected geometry.

In addition to grade, the insert geometry has a tremendous impact on the machining process and the way the grade behaves and wears.

Supporting inserts of different shapes, sizes and thicknesses, we developed each of these solutions with the same goal in mind: to optimize your milling operations for increased productivity.

Our General Grade Mapping chart below will help optimize your application with the appropriate combination of grade and geometry.

For high speed milling aluminum, faster cutting speeds are generally preferred to maintain efficient material removal rates and prevent built-up edge formation.

Tougher grades also have fewer issues with the thermal cracking and notch wear that can be challenges in milling. The drawback with tough grades is that they tend toward higher flank, crater wear and plastic deformation, which require an adjustment toward the harder, more wear-resistant grades shown at the top of the chart.

Rapid prototyping? End mills will be appealing for their flexibility. Being adaptable to take on some features that may normally be drilled means you can spend less time CAMing a part and more time making chips.

If you’re making a very small hole, say, less than 1.5mm in diameter, go with a drill. End mills under 1.5mm become increasingly fragile, and subsequently cannot be run as aggressively, as a drill can be.

Need to make a big hole? Big holes need big drills and lots of horsepower, this is where helical milling shines. Use an end mill that’s 60-80% the diameter of the hole you’re making to quickly clear out while leaving plenty of room for chips to escape.

Making lots of different size holes? Try to use the end mill, you’ll save time on tool changes and room in your tool changer.

Tougher grades can handle higher chip loads and enable the use of sharper geometries, work with interrupted cuts or vibrations, heterogenous workpiece conditions, and machine in inclusions with less edge chipping and disruption.
