Alimaster solid carbide end mills

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines specifications and recommendations for using ALIMASTER end mills on aluminum alloys, detailing types of end mills, cutting conditions, and machining best practices.

Specifications:
  • End mills are classified by flute count, cut length, and features like relieved necks or corner radii.
  • Revolution speeds and feed rates are provided for various diameters and end mill types, with specific adjustments for drilling and machining conditions.

Procedures and Recommendations:
  • For overhang lengths exceeding 4D, reduce spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut.
  • In cases of low machine rigidity or chattering, proportionately reduce revolution and feed rate.
  • Use water-soluble cutting fluid and climb cutting for side milling.
  • Avoid vertical feed; use ramping to enter the workpiece.

Performance Reports:
  • Report 1: Stable machining at 7,000 mm/min with excellent surface finish and no chattering.
  • Report 2: Enhanced machining efficiency with chip removal volume up to 6,250 cc/min.

Key Parameters:
  • Revolution speeds range from 5,700 to 40,000 min-1 based on end mill type and diameter.
  • Feed rates range from 800 to 10,000 mm/min, adjusted according to conditions and end mill specifications.
