Sandvik Coromant (Mebane, NC) is expanding its milling offering with the new CoroMill MF80 for automotive milling applications in ISO K and ISO P materials in close to 90-degree operations with fixture constraints.
Based on a technology platform similar to the existing CoroMill 345, this new milling concept offers a 40% lighter cutter body with shim protection and a high number of inserts for secure and stable machining, even in vibration-prone overhang applications. The 89.5-degree approach angle enables the multi-edge cutter to work close to the fixture, which not only greatly improves machine utilization, but also ensures a longer tool life with less scrap.
The inserts have eight cutting edges, chip protection and optimized micro geometry for better security and chip evacuation, as well as a wiper edge for a superior surface finish.
