Frequently asked questions
What is this shank end mill used for?
It is used with milling machines and metal routers for the operations indicated in the product title.
The choice of the specific model depends on the cutter diameter (Ø 10 mm) and the type of inserts (removable HM). Compatible with milling machines with tool holders suitable for the shank.
Are the inserts carbide?
Yes, the inserts shown are replaceable carbide (HM). When an insert wears out, simply rotate or replace it.
HM inserts have a hardness of 1,500-2,000 HV and can withstand temperatures up to 800 °C. Indexable inserts (with multiple cutting edges) extend service life up to 4 times compared to single inserts.
Which milling machines can it be mounted on?
It can be mounted on universal milling machines with BT, ISO taper or direct attachment. Check the attachment of your machine before purchasing.
For milling machines with Morse taper, an adapter collet chuck is required. Bernardo universal milling machines in the FM series have standard BT 30 or BT 40 attachment.
How much material can it remove per pass?
Typically 0.5-3 mm depth per pass, depending on the machine's power and the material's hardness.
On mild steel with a 2-3 kW milling machine, a depth of 1-2 mm is optimal. On hardened steels, reduce to 0.3-0.8 mm per pass. Cutting speed: 60-120 m/min on steel.
How is it lubricated during machining?
Use cutting oil or cooling emulsion applied directly to the cutting point. Coolant reduces heat and extends service life.
On hard steels or thick materials, lubrication is essential: without coolant, the cutter overheats, loses sharpness, and can break prematurely. Recommended cutting speed: 20-30 m/min on mild steel.
