Seco has recently introduced two new solid-carbide end mills that significantly boost metal removal rates and provide customers with improved tool life.
The first of these new products – Jabro®-HFM JHF181 – is a range of cutters ideal for high-feed milling of hardened steels and nickel-based alloys, whilst the second product – Jabro®-Solid2 JS564 and JS565 – are high-performance cutters developed specifically for roughing operations across a wide range of materials including steels, stainless steels and titanium alloys.
A latest addition to Seco’s high feed milling range of cutting tools, the new Jabro-HFM JHF181 offers the same high-productivity improvements as other Seco high-feed tooling solutions, and can increase metal removal rates by up to 30% more than when other, more traditional solid-carbide end mills are used.
JHF181 cutting tools are particularly effective at machining complex parts that require long tool overhangs and where a mix of multiple axial and radial machining operations are employed.
The cutters feature Seco’s new HXT coating which, when in use, adds a hardened layer to the cutting tool edges which in turn delivers thermal protection and high-wear resistance.
The JHF181 range is available with 2-, 4- or 5-flute options with cutting diameters ranging from 2 mm to 16 mm and length options ranging from 2xD to 7xD. The end mills also have through-tool coolant capability for diameters between 6 mm and 12mm.
Designed for advanced roughing operations, the new Jabro-Solid2 JS564 and JS565 cutters provide 20% longer tool life than their predecessors due to a number of innovative features that include: stable tapered cores and polished NXT coatings.
