High Performance

inserted disc mill

for 1.4 mm slots

A high performance wafer-thin disc-type milling cutter which utilises a unique insert clamping method has been introduced by Horn.

The Type M139 cutter has an overall diameter of 100 mm or 80 mm.  The larger cutter has ten single edged carbide inserts and is capable of generating grooves as narrow as 1.4 mm wide to a depth of 25 mm.  The 80 mm cutter has eight inserts and can machine to a depth of 20 mm.

This capability has hitherto been approached only with carbide tipped slitting saws; these have restricted life due to the inability to re-sharpen.

Initially, insert widths of 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 mm are available, all of which are compatible with the standard cutter body.  Additional cutting widths and specific geometries - including full radius inserts - will follow.
