AddDoFeed – Die – SKD11
IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY AND TOOL LIFE
Previously, a competitor's high-feed cutter was used for pocket machining of HRC60 SKD11.
We proposed the AddDoFeed for this machining process.
Despite being a small-diameter cutter, the AddDoFeed demonstrated superior reliability and enabled a higher feed rate compared to the conventional product, improving productivity by 1.5 times.
Additionally, tool life was extended by 3.5 times. The AddDoFeed features four corners per insert compared to the conventional product's two corners, significantly reducing insert consumption through extended tool life and increased number of corner.
