FCR indexable end mills from BIG KAISER ensure vibration-free machining
BIG KAISER has highlighted how the monoblock design used in its Fullcut Mill FCR indexable end mills is delivering vibration-free machining. The advantage of the Fullcut Mill is the insert geometry, a dedicated single-diameter geometry which has a sharp cutting edge for both high radial and axial rake angles. This allows a smooth cut that requires less cutting effort and therefore less spindle power, leaving the surface smooth and burr-free. This special geometry makes them particularly robust even where there is a strong interrupted cut.
BIG KAISER’s monoblock design integrates the indexable inserts with the machine spindle in the BBT (BIG-PLUS BT taper) interface. To complete the range, the FCR end mills are also available in HSK A-63 and BDV interfaces. The monoblock design helps reduce vibration and chatter and improves the rigidity of the system. As a result, customers can achieve improved process reliability and consistency.
The Fullcut Mill FCR is an indexable insert tool that delivers excellent cutting performance for demanding milling applications. Two variants are available, Standard and Long Nose, both with a BBT interface. FCR are available in 4 diameters, ranging from 16 to 32 mm with two or three cutting inserts. The Long Nose version is more cylindrical and thinner, resulting in less interference contour. Compared to solid carbide end mills, the Fullcut Mill has better performance, due to increased stability, and lower cost, because only the inserts need to be swapped out, not the whole solid end mill.
“The Fullcut Mill FCR is a versatile tool that’s able to handle multi-functional cutting, including helical milling, peck-milling, grooving, and shoulder milling, and it is especially suitable for those typical hot mold materials with excellent tenacity” said Giampaolo Roccatello, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer for Europe at BIG KAISER. “It’s ideal for anyone who wants to achieve improved productivity and maximum material removal.”
