Ingersoll’s NanoFeed technology is said to provide high-feed milling performance for machining of miniature components and small part features. This 20-degree, high-feed indexable insert design can replace small-diameter solid carbide end mills in many applications to offer greater economy, the company says.
Inserts have been designed with pressed-in coolant channels, directing coolant or air directly to the cutting edge for maximizing tool life. Inserts also have backdraft side clearance for straight-wall milling capability. Available in diameters of 6 mm and 8 mm with steel or carbide shank options, NanoFeed is said to reduce cycle times, increase productivity and help reduce solid carbide usage.
