Multi-milling options made easy
Providing cutting tools for multiple
materials and applications is a key
focus for Dormer Pramet.
This objective is typified by the
company’s range of solid carbide end
mills, which are suitable for the most
popular operations. This includes
slotting, side and face milling, ramping
and copy milling in a wide range of
materials.
Its S8 and S9 assortments, marketed
under the Dormer brand, have for
many years provided a reliable and
competitive milling option for common
applications. The ranges include
different shank styles, flute options, cut
lengths and surface finishes, including
bright and coated alternatives.
Both feature a corner chamfer and
modified end teeth geometry for
multiple applications and materials.
To support this assortment, Dormer
Pramet has recently added more than
40 new solid carbide cutters. This not
only increases the range of applications
covered to encompass roughing, super
finishing and deep milling, but also
includes material specific cutters.
A large share of the new assortment
comes from the S2 and S7 milling
families.
Dormer’s S7 program further expands
the multi-material milling options, while
the S2 range extends the support to
cover difficult to machine materials.
For example, the S7 cutters bring a
differential pitch option, delivering
reduced chatter, maximising swarf
removal at high feed rates.
It offers a variety of diameters, in short
to extra-long lengths, numerous flute
options, a range of coatings, as well
as roughing profile and corner radii
options.
Dormer Pramet recently expanded
this range even further with the
introduction of the S713 and S716.
These new cutters feature square
corners to offer the user one tool
capable of both roughing and
finishing.
The S2 family includes all the benefits
of the S7 range, with the addition of a
variety of neck options for deep milling
and multi-flute options for improved
finishing in high strength steels and
difficult to machine materials.
