According to the company, the cutters are useful for rough-milling applications that require low cutting speeds and high metal-removal rates in the general engineering, automotive and machine tool industries. The same tool can be used for both roughing and semi-finishing. The cutters are available in diameters ranging from 1.25" to 6". Featuring coolant-through capability, they can be used in virtually all milling applications, including face milling, ramping, helical ramping from solid, slotting and plunging. Also available are two insert sizes for increased feed applications and varying depths of cut. The 6-mm version offers a 0.138" cuting depth and the 7-mm version provides a 0.197" cutting depth.
