Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme has expanded its range of specialised machining tools for aluminium.
Anyone machining aluminium workpieces with a high chip volume from solid material will reach their goal faster with the HC403BDSR high-performance roughing tool. Available in diameters from 6 to 20mm, the tool enables full slot milling up to a depth of 3xD at maximum feed rates in all common aluminium alloys. Thanks 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.
Following in the fierce footsteps of Hufschmied’s Wolverine HC403BD roughing/finishing tool, the HC403BDSR takes aluminium machining to the next level. It is a solid carbide high-performance roughing tool with extreme material removal rates. The cutting edge with cord serration is particularly stable thanks to a corner radius, and a special face geometry which 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.
