BIG Daishowa Indexable Face Mills (Supplement)

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document introduces a new range of high-performance indexable face mills designed for high-speed cutting of aluminum and cast iron. These mills are available in diameters from ø50mm to ø160mm, featuring adjustable cutting edge height, lightweight design, and high rigidity.

Specifications: The face mills have a low-profile cutter body to enhance rigidity and minimize vibration, ensuring a minimized height difference on the machined surface. The cutting edge height can be adjusted to within 1µm for precision. They are compatible with small machine tools like BT30 spindles.

Procedures: Cutting edge height adjustment is facilitated by a lifting screw mechanism for precise adjustments. Coolant is directly supplied to the cutting edges with the Face Mill Arbor Type FMH, preventing built-up edges and re-cutting of swarf.

Performance: These face mills combine rough and finish processes in one operation, achieving a mirror finish with flatness between 1-2µm. Applications include machining crank cases, semiconductor equipment parts, and machine tool beds.

Cutting Conditions: Detailed cutting conditions are provided for materials like aluminum, cast iron, and various steels, specifying cutting speeds, spindle speeds, feed rates, and depth of cut for optimal performance.

Inserts and Spare Parts: Various insert models and specifications are listed, including material composition and recommended cutting conditions. Information on spare parts like lifting screws, nuts, and wrenches is provided, emphasizing regular replacement for maintaining performance.

Recommendations: The document advises on selecting insert grades based on material and cutting conditions, highlighting the importance of using the correct insert for specific diameters. Regular maintenance of consumables like clamping screws and wrenches is recommended.

Standards and Recommendations: The use of SE (Sharp Edge) type inserts for stainless and mild steel is recommended to prevent burrs. Inserts are available in packages of 10, and regular replacement of clamping screws and wrenches is advised to maintain proper clamping force.

Tools and Accessories: Specifications for Face Mill Tool Holders and PL Presetter are discussed, including taper sizes and maximum tool lengths. The Exclusive Speed Finisher Presetter is necessary for quick adjustments in micron increments.

Cutting Conditions: Cutting conditions for face milling of S55C (C55) with high feed cutters are detailed, including cutter speed, feed, depth, and overhang. The SMART DAMPER system is introduced to integrate a damping system for maximizing cutter productivity.

Key Data from Tables: Tables provide detailed measurements for cutter diameters, insert sizes, and arbor types, along with information on component weights and the number of inserts required for different cutter diameters.
