Seco Further Expands Solid Carbide End Mill Range
Seco recently expanded its already comprehensive Jabro®-Solid2 line of solid carbide end mills to include new inch sizes, geometries and flute versions. Such additions allow an even greater range of applications to benefit from this highly versatile series of cutters that balances economy and performance.
The JS522 long-flute finishing tool, which is capable of meeting the aerospace industry’s stringent criteria for perpendicularity, fine surface finish, high metal removal rates and more effective machining, now comes in standard inch sizes. As a result, more manufacturers can now reduce their cycle times and achieve more effective machining through single-pass finishing as well as easily maintain high-quality standards in a wide range of workpiece materials.
In 2013, four new geometries joined the Jabro®-Solid2 family known as the JS400 series. These cutters allow users to optimise chip formation and achieve higher cutting data in general machining and aerospace applications involving aluminium alloys. To further adapt the series for aerospace part production, the JS453 now features an expanded programme of radii (1,0; 2,0; 2,5; 3,0; 4,0 and 6,0 mm) and overhang lengths to serve a broader application range.
With respect to the Jabro®-HSS-Co family, Seco has extended the JCO710 range of solid HSS-E end mills to now include zn-4 flute versions in the complete diameter range that increase process security in full slotting operations, especially in less-than-ideal cutting conditions. Furthermore, new lengths have been added in the zn-6 flute designs providing users an efficient and effective solution for side milling high shoulders of up to 4xD in a single pass.
