Pokolm’s Squareworx multifunctional milling system is designed for precise machining with both 90- and 45-degree approach angles. One insert is sufficient to perform square-shouldering, slotting, facing and chamfering operations, the company says. Each insert has four useable cutting edges with a corner radius of 0.8 mm. Five different grades can machine all standard materials, ranging from roughing to finishing, the company says.
All available end mills, shell-type cutters, and threaded-shank tools possess the maximum possible number of teeth. Combined with an internal coolant supply, this design enables high feed rates, the company says. Square-shoulder and slotting cutters are available from stock in diameters between 25 and 66 mm. The 16- to 63-mm chamfering milling cutters’ special geometry enables both forward and reverse chamfering operations.
