Millstar introduces aluminium milling cutter line

Millstar has introduced an aluminium milling cutter line for precise cutting tool solutions.

Millstar, an industry leader in producing carbide mould tooling and carbide cutting tools, is a subsidiary of the Cole Carbide Family of Companies. The cutting insert line features modular screw-on heads, shell milling and end-mill cutters, with side clearance options offered, the Michigan-based company says.

According to the supplier, this aluminium cutting insert line provides a variety of holding options, multiple insert sizes, a 90 degree option and back draft capability. The inserts are said to be effective in material removal during roughing operations, enabling a good finish.

To demonstrate the line’s product performance and material removal efficiency, Millstar partnered with CNC machining manufacturer Hurco to produce a video of the shell milling cutter in action. The shell tooling cutting parameters featured in the video clip are 18,000 rpm, 28.8 m/min, 0.05 depth-of-cut and 1.75 step-over.

According to Millstar, the cutters maximise return-on-investment. Multiple operations and unrestricted cutting conditions in a single set-up allow versatility, efficiency and ultimately more throughput at a lower cost per part for the end user, Millstar explains.
