Technical information Technical information – milling Solid carbide mills A Machining strategy – HPC/UM (HSC) milling cutters HPC = High Performance Cutting Machining with significantly increased metal removal rate through higher cutting speeds and feed rates compared with conventional machine cutting processes. Turning ap ae Full-slot milling B HSC (UM) = High Speed Cutting High cutting speeds and feed rates in combination with low cutting depths lead to lower chip thickness as in normal machining. Milling ap ae C ae <15 % ap = max Profiling Trochoidal milling Drilling The UM milling cutter is specifically optimised for HSC machining. β2 D α2 β1 Information Technical β1≠β2 α1 α1≠α2 High metal removal rates can be realised with this tool. Especially on highly dynamic machines with optimised tool paths this milling cutter shows its full potential. E Index B 474
