New high-speed face milling cutter for non-ferrous applications improves efficiency and tool setup
Engineering360 News Desk | March 04, 2019Tungaloy is introducing TungSpeed-Mill, an advanced series of high-speed face milling cutters for efficient finishing of ISO N materials.
TungSpeed-Mill comes equipped with a unique insert clamping design called CamAdjust. This design enables

TungSpeed-Mill is designed with the highest insert density available, enabling operation at over 3,000 meters per minute (9,843 sfm) for milling aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous components predominantly used in the automotive industry.
The inserts are available in polycrystalline diamond (PCD) grade DX110 in various geometries including two types of standard inserts — first choice insert with F edge preparation (sharp edge) and S edge preparation (chamfered + honed) for rough applications. Deburring insert (-BD) and wiper insert (-WD) are also available. The main cutting edge of the standard insert is designed double-angled, which reduces burr generation on the machined surface and breaks chips into small pieces for efficient evacuation. The deburring insert ensures burr-free machining, while the wiper insert provides improved machined surface quality.
The cutter bodies are available in a tool diameter (ø) range of ø50 mm to ø160 mm, with ø50 mm in cylindrical type and ø63 mm to ø160 mm in shell type.
