Now available from ITC (UK) is the new range of Hanita high feed milling cutters that has been engineered to machine steels at up to a hardness of 67HRc. Designed specifically for the mould & die and medical markets, the high feed range is ideal for rough and semi-finish machining of hardened materials from 37 to 67HRc.
The Hanita high feed end mills permit high feed machining with its 6 flutes and innovative geometry that improve productivity and reduce manufacturing costs. With necked shanks the new range provides extended reach for deep cavity machining that is commonplace in the mould & die sector. Effective in 3D machining, helical ramping, circular interpolation, face milling and pocketing, this multi-purpose series of end mills can improve metal removal rates by up to 190% whilst improving feed rates by 3 times compared to other products. The series is available in two ranges, the 70N7 for cutting materials beyond 50HRc and the 70N6 for materials from 40 to 52HRc.
The exciting new range can operate at a surface speed of 160m/min with a 0.6mm feed per tooth and a table feed of 1.5m/min. With a corner radius on the cutters, the range can reliably machine difficult materials whilst maintaining exceptional tool life and consistent performance. The radii on the cutters is 0.58, 0.77. 0.96, 1.15, 1.54 and 1.92mm for the 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20mm diameter end mills. With tool life, metal removal rates and productivity benefits beyond usual products, the Hanita high feed series from ITC is destined to prove extremely beneficial to machine shops working with hard materials.
