The evolution of cutting
Ed Hill hears how the latest materials used in the aerospace industry influence the development of rotary cutting tools.
Diamond-tipped tools forever
Diamond-tipped Supermini and Mini tools with internal cooling directly to the cutting edge are the latest additions to the products Horn offers for boring, profiling and grooving.
Supermini tools with CVD-D or PCD cutting edges are available in diameters from 1.5mm and with three different geometries to suit the application. H0 geometry with a rake angle of zero degrees is for machining hard, brittle materials such as carbides, pre-sintered ceramic materials, graphite and short-chipping brass.
H5 geometry with a rake angle of 5° is used to machine abrasive and soft materials, including aluminium alloys with a high silicon content, fibre-reinforced plastics and other plastics with abrasive content. The active HF chipbreaker geometry solves virtually all machining problems caused by uncontrolled, stringy swarf.
