Seco Tools LLC, Troy, Michigan, released the Helical SN8-13 milling system featuring double-sided helix inserts with eight cutting edges that lower cost per edge to boost slotting, side milling and circular rough milling efficiency.
Built for difficult applications involving ISO P, M, K and S materials, the cutters offer application-specific subfamily designs featuring left or right-hand helixes, half- or full-effective teeth options, two front insert and many radii choices for long tool life and maximum chip evacuation.
“The demand for price reductions is ongoing and forces shops to economize production operations wherever possible while still maintaining part quality and profit margins,” explained Benoît Patriarca, global product manager Helical Milling at Seco Tools. “With the Helical SN8-13 system’s design combined with high-performance insert geometries and grades, they can achieve all these goals with one tool.”
