Trochoidal speed cutting requires both dynamics and stability – and a range of TSC tools achieve much shorter machining times than conventional slot milling methods. “Trochoidal speed cutting” (TSC) ...

A close view of high-feed milling in process. Ingersoll’s high-feed Powerfeed Plus tool feeds faster and cuts lighter, to accelerate metal removal and protect Wemco’s light-frame CNC machines.

High-feed milling is possible due to the effect of chip thinning resulting from the shallow lead angle of the cutter – typically 10 to 25 degrees. The smaller the lead angle, the more the feed can be ...

Everyone wants to reduce cycle times, but simply machining faster isn’t necessarily the answer. If high speed milling comes at the cost of reduced tool life and surface finish, the minutes gained ...

Walter USA recently added a new countersink option to its TC620 Supreme thread milling cutter lineup that features a multiple-row design for low cutting forces and excellent dimensional accuracy. Said ...
