DM end milling system features
easy-change tips
Horn DM Series end mills are designed for rough and semi finish end milling
using a unique design of replaceable insert. The tips locate in a common holder
using a bayonet locking system and 8mm, 10mm and 12mm diameter versions are
available.
The DM system exhibits excellent
stability at spindle speeds of over 20000 rev/min and its rigidity
provides excellent performance on deep pocket milling applications.
DM offers ease of tip change, consistency of length, rigidity and
run-out. The Horn location system is offers very high repeatability
of insert location using a uniquely engineered tip/holder interface.
Run-out accuracy of the assembled tool is within 20 microns TIR.
Firstly, Horn DM tips can be removed and
replaced without removing the shank/holder from the machine.
· Secondly repeatability of location/length is within 30 microns -
so for most applications no re-setting of tool length offset is
required.
Thirdly, Horn DM edge position does not
vary during machining as the location design prevents the tip from
‘sinking’ into the holder during machining.

Fourth, unlocking the
insert from the holder is reliably easy as the bayonet
location/locking system is designed for immunity from
seizure.
The key technology incorporated
into Horn DM Series tooling is the location system. The
holder nose is machined with a conical seat and a helical
internal groove, accessed via an asymmetric ‘coffin shaped’
plug-in port. This last prevents mis-orientation of the
insert.
DM inserts are moulded with a
T-head location pin having a correspondingly shaped locator
but the conical seating on the insert has three raised pads.
This three point location ensures that the insert sits
squarely on its conical seat while the gap maintained by the
pads prevents cold welding of the insert to the holder.
Torque is transmitted mainly by the location pin.
Tightening the insert into the holder to a torque of 6Nm
using the Horn-supplied torque spanner provides an
absolutely secure location. Removal of a worn or
damaged insert is a simple matter using the same tool.

DS High Precision End Milling
The DS Series is a premium grade range
of tooling, compliant with H5 run-out standards on both shank and
cutting edge, and is developed for the most exacting requirements.
Horn DS complements DM Series and has been developed to meet the
needs of the top end of the market. Roughing and finishing tool
geometries are available.
Multiple DS variants are available to cover full radius, ball nose,
end milling and single flute cutting for aluminium. Tool diameters
range from 0.2 mm to 12.0 mm and the tools are available in two
micro grain carbide grades for machining normal and pre-hardened
materials, and graphite.
Coatings include multi-layer TiN, and
diamond for aluminium machining.
