Dormer Pramet Expands its Line of Milling Tools for Die and Mold
A strong main cutting edge is said to enable a high durability and process security, especially when machining corners inside a pocket.
Dormer Pramet’s SNGX11 milling insert
The Dormer Pramet milling assortment for die and mold has grown with several introductions, including the double-sided Pramet SNGX11 insert for high feed milling with up to 0.07” depths of cut.
A strong main cutting edge is said to enable a high durability and process security, especially when machining corners inside a pocket. With eight cutting edges, the square-shaped SNGX11 also represents an economical solution, the company says.
Made for copy milling, helical interpolation, ramping, progressive plunging and face milling, the SNGX11 is available in two geometries. M is for machining steel but also hardened steel and cast iron. MM provides a smoother cut and is more suitable for stainless steel, soft steel and super alloys.
The range is supplemented by the new SSN11 cutter, made in diameters from 1.26”–4.92” with intermediate sizes for die and mold applications. All cutters feature a through-coolant design to further improve process security and a high overhang to support deep milling up to 10×D.
