Machining Recommendations
- Excellent tool stability
- 4 indexing options when using the SHREDMILL insert
- Chips split into small pieces and 8 indexing options when using the round one
- Optimal chip flow with easy evacuation,
- Available are several chipformers and rake configurations,
even from deep cavities designed for a large variety of workpiece materials
- High tooth load capability, up to 8 mm depth-of-cut, which will significantly reduce machining time
- Small cutting forces, therefore the required machining power is low 12˚ RCMT 1607-FW
