To address the difficulties manufacturers face when performing disc milling operations in hard-to-machine materials, SECO TOOLS announced a new line of disc mill cutter bodies, the 335.18 and 335.19 disc mill cutters.

Close-pitch insert pockets improve stability and productivity, while plug-and-play internal coolant system further ensures the highest tool life and superior chip control. These features, as well as a new corrosion-resistant cutter body and indexable inserts with four cutting edges, allow these disc mills to outperform high-speed steel alternatives, especially in tough materials like sticky stainless steel, titanium and superalloys.

Designed for slotting operations between 4-12 mm and cutting-off operations from 4-8 mm, the 335.18 and 335.19 cutters are available in metric diameters ranging from 32 mm to 125 mm. Inch diameters range from 1.25 to 4 in., with widths from 0.156 to 0.50 in.

Inserts for these cutters are available with the full range of grades, edge geometries and corner radii (0.2-6.0 mm, 0.008-0.236 in.)

For flexibility and ease of use, as well as superior radial and axial reach, the 335.18 and 335.19 cutters ise modular Combimaster^™ connections.
