Sandvik Coromant launches a new series of end mills delivering high performance and security in side and pocket milling operations. The CoroMill Plura HFS (high feed side milling) end mills are developed for steel and stainless steel applications, but they can also enhance productivity in difficult-to-machine materials such as heat-resistant super alloys (HRSAs) and titanium. The CoroMill Plura HFS utilizes the complete cutting length of the end mill and achieves a high metal removal rate with smaller diameters. The result is lower tools costs and improved overall productivity. CoroMill Plura HFS features include: an unequal helix flute design that assures a variable angular pitch in every axial section to increase the chatter-free material removal rate; an asymmetrical chip-breaker profile that improves chip evacuation and minimizes the risk of edge chipping and tool breakage; and a conical core shape with a smaller core diameter at the face to improve chip evacuation capabilities, with a larger core diameter at depth of cut maximum (APMX) for maximum stability. The grade for the CoroMill Plura HFS is GC1740 which was developed to resist bending forces generated when using a 4xDC length of cut. This is needed when the component has a large depth of cut and cutting width. Furthermore, Sandvik Coromant’s Tailor Made offer includes CoroMill Plura end mills for manufacturers or machine shops needing a 5xDC length of cut.
