High-Performance Roughing Tools for Aluminum

Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme GmbH is expanding its range of specialized machining tools for aluminum. Available in diameters from 6 mm to 20 mm, the tool enables full slot milling up to a depth of 3xD at maximum feedrates in all common aluminum alloys. Due to its special cord toothing, it produces small, easy-to-handle chips so that the chip container rarely needs to be emptied despite high material removal rates, the company reported.

"Following in the footsteps of Hufschmied's Wolverine HC403BD roughing/finishing tool, the HC403BDSR takes aluminum machining to the next level," said a company spokesperson. "It is a solid carbide high-performance roughing tool with extreme material removal rates. The cutting edge with cord serration is particularly stable due to a corner radius and a special face geometry that allows high ramp angles when plunging. A newly developed coating called ALX1 is being used for the first time on this tool. Polished flutes and the central internal cooling ensure that chips are optimally removed.

The HC403BDSR high-performance roughing cutter was specially developed for machining from solid material and is suitable for applications in aerospace, automotive, motorsport or other areas where large volumes need to be machined in a short time in order to produce high-precision small batches.
