H‐Elix Milling Cutters: Exotic Materials Machining Tasks Solved

Abstract

STELLRAM's first introduction in a new series of tooling ranges is the H‐Elix milling programme specifically developed for the machining of exotic, heat‐resistant materials such as those used in aerospace. Now available ex‐stock from Stellram Ltd of Melksham, Wiltshire, H‐Elix cutters include end and face mills which feature through‐tool coolant supply and cover diameters from 16 to 100 mm. Innovative design coupled with high‐performance inserts result in a cutter which exerts lower forces on both machine tool and component. High positive geometry is ideal for machining difficult materials and maximum advantage is taken in the new range for high efficiency cutting of Titanium, Inconel, Marval, Stellite and other exotics.
