Ingersoll’s HiPosSFeedV is a mini-sized indexable end mill line that is well suited for the small parts and miniature industries, as well as die and mold applications. Because mold builders deal with a diverse range of product sizes — including very small components — the HiPosSFeedV line offers higher density indexable insert cutters in a smaller diameter range — from 0.250 to 0.500" (8 to 14 mm) and with four different insert styles — enabling mold and die manufacturers to save on cost by replacing more expensive solid carbide round tooling, as well as maintain or increase productivity.

The indexable end mill line features a V-Shaped pocket that cradles the insert to reportedly remove insert screw stress and foster effortless insert indexing. Additionally, Ingersoll says the optimized pocket design accommodates a substantial core diameter for rigidity and higher cutter densities.

With versatility in mind, the cutters are able to plunge, ramp and interpolate. When compared to solid carbide, users can interchange economical (2-index) 90-degree and hi-feed inserts in the same pocket; with 90-degree inserts offering various corner radii and edge preparations for cutting ferrous and nonferrous materials.
