Milling cutter range with compacted radial indexable inserts
Face, shoulder, slot and shell end face milling cutters
For roughing and medium machining with one tool
Positive and negative indexable inserts made from different PVD and CVD cutting materials

ADVANTAGES

Indexable inserts for maximum efficiency also in difficult machining conditions
Very high surface quality due to indexable inserts with wiper component
For all applications in cast iron, steel and stainless steel, as well as heat-resistant cast steel (turbocharger materials)
High cutting volume

NeoMill® standard programme

For all milling cutters, MAPAL offers a wide range of indexable inserts – each in a positive and a negative design. In addition, there are cutting edges with a wiper portion, which achieve good surface qualities even without being set.

The negative inserts do not have a clearance angle and can therefore be designed with cutting edges on the contact surface. If the basic shape is the same, negative inserts thus have double the number of cutting edges compared with their positive counterparts. In combination with the high tool life of the indexable inserts, this makes the negative indexable inserts particularly cost-effective.

Selection steps for the NeoMill® milling cutter

As a technology partner, MAPAL supports the selection and optimum use of the NeoMill® milling cutters with knowledge of tooling and processing..

1. Component application and workpiece material

Selection of application & workpiece material:
Application:
Face milling, Shoulder milling, Ramping, Plunge milling, High-feed milling
Workpiece material:
Steel, Stainless steel, Cast iron
2. Machining conditions
The machine, clamping fixture and shape of the workpiece influence the machining conditions:
Interrupted cut
Low cutting width
Dry machining
Very heavy interrupted cut
Vibration-prone
Wet machining (thermal shock)
3. Insert geometry / insert form

Positive rake angle ａnd low cutting forces are decisive in unstable conditions
Negative rake angle: Particularly cost-effective due to double-sided use and high edge stability
4. Number of cutting edges / spacing

Number of cutting edges and spacing depends on ap and ae
5. Cutting edge design

Cutting edge design depends on the workpiece material and application
R = Roughing
M = Medium machining
U = Difficult conditions
6. Milling ratio ae / Ø

Optimum ratio of the milling cutter diameter and the cutting width
The ratio of the milling cutter diameter and the cutting width ae should be ae = 70% Dc or ae < 25%="">
7. Milling strategy

Run-in with one radius
Running-in with a radius keeps the chips thin when they exit, reduces vibrations and results in optimum tool life.
8. Calculation of the process parameters
Process-relevant calculations
Calculation of the cutting force
Power and torque
Templates for test reports
Cost-effectiveness calculation

Innovative and reliable machining solutions require a holistic understanding of the process

Milling application / Clamping setup

Component requirements and clamping concept
