1 TOOL NEW Update B182G For Titanium Alloy Milling VFX eries Item Expansion VFX for High Efficiency Milling of Titanium Alloys Outstanding metal removal rates up to 400cm 3 /min. (with ø63 cutter)

2 Unparalleled Chip Ejection Properties Helps Re-define the Parameters for Machining Titanium Alloy High Rigidity Design VFX eries Arranging the inserts vertically absorbs the principal cutting force through the thickness of the insert and achieves extremely high rigidity. Highly Reliable Clamping Mechanism The insert seat has a curved seating face in the radial direction of the tool and a V-shaped seating face on the axis of rotation that can securely handle cutting forces from any direction. Low Resistance Convex Curve Cutting Edge The curved cutting edge resembles the geometry of a solid end mill and achieves low cutting resistance and enables high quality machining. V Formation of the Clamping Face Convex Curve Cutting Edge Cutting Force Improved Chip Removal with Coolant Coolant Nozzle The internal coolant is directed slightly above the rake face of the cutting edge so that it is aimed directly at the chip. Forcibly ejecting the chips prevents them from welding to the cutting edge, enabling higher effi ciency machining. Coolant Discharge Position Changeable Coolant Nozzle A replaceable nozzle is used for the internal coolant (hole diameter of the standard nozzle supplied: ø0.8). The coolant pressure can be adjusted by using a nozzle with a smaller or larger diameter. Nozzles with different diameters are available as options. 1

3 electing Inserts L M H Produces compact chips without increases in cutting resistance. Excellent performance at large widths of cut and during slotting. Covers a wide range of cutting conditions and applications. Excellent chip separation and strong cutting edge. Highly effi cient machining is possible at small widths of cut. Grade L M H First Recommended MP9130 An new and enhanced super fi ne cemented carbide substrate has increased toughness whilst maintaining hardness. The Al-Ti-Cr-N accumulated type coating ensures optimum heat and wear resistance. The combination of these properties gives excellent fracture resistance and a very low coeffi cient of friction for class leading welding resistance when machining titanium alloy. Width of Cut : ae DC 0.1 DC 0.3 DC 0.5 DC 0.7 DC 0.9 General Purpose Grade Combination of Holder and Insert Corner R uses an accumulated type coating based on a Ti compound that demonstrates excellent abrasion and fracture resistance during titanium alloy machining.

On the peripheral cutting edges please use R1.2 for VFX6 and R0.8 for VFX5. Newly Developed 3-flute Holder (VFX5 Only) During high chip volume applications such as slotting, chip evacuation performance is important and if insufficient can lead to chipping of the insert. To solve this problem a 3 flute cutter with maximised main flutes and chip pockets has been developed. Use of the new L breaker in conjunction with the 3 flute cutter will maximise the performance benefits. ub Pocket 2
