MillQuadFeed15 – Plate – U type inserts

IMPROVE TOOL LIFE & PRODUCTIVITY

In the process of reducing the thickness of SUS410HP plate from 16 mm to 8 mm using a competitor’s tool, low clamping rigidity and high cutting noise led to poor machining stability. To address this issue, the MillQuadFeed with a low-approach-angle U-type insert was proposed. It enabled low-resistance machining by generating thin chips and offering high edge strength. Stable one-pass machining was achieved, and seven consecutive workpieces were processed without any issues. Tool life improved to approximately seven times that of the previous tool.
