WIDIA Victory VSM11 cutter and inserts
As a job-shop owner, how would you describe an ideal, go-to tool? Certainly, it should be a high-performance tool that can cover multiple functions such as shoulder milling, slotting, pocket milling, ramping and helical interpolation. "All inserts are available in the latest WIDIA Victory grades for a variety of workpiece materials," said a company spokesperson.
"This ideal product is the new VSM11 platform from WIDIA. VSM11's versatility and a wide breadth of offering is specifically engineered and optimized to provide higher productivity for job shops," said Adarsh Sowcar, Global Product Manager, Indexable Milling. "Designed for low horsepower draw and free machining, the VSM11 delivers an effective one-two punch of reduced horsepower at the machine and higher speed and feedrates that get jobs done faster."
"VSM11 cutter bodies have an integral chip gash design for excellent chip evacuation along with hardened-steel construction and hardened pocket seats for improved resistance to deformation. They are available in shell, screw on, cylindrical shank and Weldon shank models with internal air and coolant capability," said the spokesperson.
VSM11 11 mm insert has an optimized cutting edge and positive rake face that provides a true 90-degree wall while concurrently reducing cutting forces and providing stepless surface finishes. Six WIDIA Victory grades and five geometries make up the portfolio of recommendations covering multiple material types and machining tasks.
One offering can accomplish 90-degree shoulder milling, full slotting, 3D pocket milling, circular contour milling I.D. and O.D., helical interpolation and ramping into full material with reduced cutting forces and improved free-cutting action.
A VSM11 Starter Kit of four cutter bodies and WIDIA Victory grade WP40PM covering roughing to finishing, is available by contacting your WIDIA distributor.
