Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides a comprehensive guide on the selection and application of milling tools, specifically focusing on the 7792VX series. It includes specifications, procedures, and recommendations for various milling operations such as facing, slotting, and plunging.
Specifications: The document details the dimensions and configurations of different milling tools, including modular heads, Weldon shanks, cylindrical shanks, and shell mill fixations. It specifies the diameter range, body fixation types, and insert shapes and sizes for each tool series.
Tool Selection Process: A six-step tool selection guide is provided to assist users in choosing the appropriate cutter, insert geometry, and grade based on the application and material. This includes selecting the milling family, cutter body diameter, and technical parameters such as facing pitch, ramping angles, and maximum RPM.
Technical Information: The document includes detailed technical information for the 7792VX series, such as facing pitch, ramping angles, helical hole dimensions, and maximum depth of cut. It also provides recommended feeds and speeds for different materials and operations.
Applications and Material Guide: The guide categorizes materials into ISO designations and provides recommendations for insert selection based on material type and operation (facing, slotting, plunging). It includes a color-coded system to indicate performance levels for each insert.
Performance and Recommendations: The document highlights the advantages of using the 7792VX series for high feed milling, emphasizing the stability and efficiency of the cutting forces. It contrasts this with the limitations of round insert tools, which can lead to vibration and reduced productivity.
Additional Information: The document includes references to material specifications, speed recommendations, and coolant usage. It also provides technical information at the end of each family section, including calculation formulas and mounting instructions.
