Aluminum High Speed Milling

Milling Cutter for Aluminum with VCGT22 Insert

This milling cutter is specifically engineered for high-performance machining of aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. Its design centers on the use of the VCGT22 Insert, a sharp, positive-rake, uncoated carbide grade that provides exceptional shearing action and a free-cutting flow of chips.

Key Features & Benefits:

• VCGT22 Insert: Features a very sharp cutting edge and a polished face, which minimizes heat buildup and prevents aluminum from adhering (anti-BUE). The sharp geometry delivers superior surface finishes and allows for higher feed rates.

• High-Efficiency Design: The cutter body and insert geometry are optimized for high spindle speeds and aggressive material removal rates (MRR), making it ideal for roughing and finishing operations.

• Excellent Chip Evacuation: The combination of a positive rake angle and deep gullets ensures chips are quickly and efficiently evacuated from the cutting zone, preventing re-cutting and protecting the workpiece and tool.

• Versatility: Perfect for profiling, pocketing, and face milling operations on aluminum alloys, as well as plastics and composites.

In short, this cutter/insert combination is the ideal choice for maximizing productivity and achieving a clean, high-quality finish in aluminum milling applications.
