High-Efficiency Cutter for Aluminum Alloys HF Series

■ General Features

The HF Type high-efficiency aluminum alloy cutter employs a unique blade design to achieve machining without burrs. New HFFH with coolant holes is now available as a BBT30 (BIG-PLUS TM ) arbour integrated version.

Work Material

Not suited for cast iron or steel. ( )

● Reduces burrs by using a double-chamfered blade

Drastically reduces burrs by preventing the plastic deformation that causes burrs.

Ensure that the maximum allowable spindle speed ( n max ) specified for each cutter diameter is not exceeded. (See the table at upper right)

● Reduces running costs by drastically increasing blade regrinding allowance (to 0.071") Assuming 0.008" of regrinding each time, an edge can be used up to 10 times.

(Given conditions of normal wear with a p = 0.06" or less)

The regrinding amount has been drastically increased compared to conventional screw-lock types

Regrinding Portion

● Internal coolant improves chip evacuation performance (HFFH Type, HFFH-BBT30 Type) The internal coolant effectively prevents chips from becoming clogged or biting into the work material and achieves longer tool life. (Use an internal coolant compatible arbor)
