SX – High-performance Milling Cutter

H DURO-SI HM MG10  43°  3° Vario The technologies of the SX high-performance tools The technologies The new SX technology was developed in FRAISA’s Produc- tion department and Test Center, while the FRAISA ToolSchool was responsible for developing and validating the cutting data. All product development measures were focused on achieving high productivity, a long tool life and cost efficiency . A strong-edged, ultrafine-grain carbide with excellent wear properties forms the basis of the SX high-performance tools. A positive, easy-cut geometry was combined with op- timized flutes and an increasing tool core diameter . The result: Optimum chip formation, good chip removal, and high tool stability. To ensure the SX tools can withstand high mechanical and thermal stresses, the exposed cutting-edge corner has been equipped with a special robust, polished tooth edge and a small corner radius . The high-performance DURO-Si coating protects the tools against high temperature loads and ensures maximum per- formance and tool life by means of its high wear resistance. The SX high-performance tools are ideally suited to HPC and HDC machining and consequently cover a wide range of applications and materials . Detailed descriptions of each technology can be found in our “High-performance Milling Tools” catalog. [ 4 ]
