Square shoulder milling inserts
Ten XVCT-AM square shoulder milling inserts – designed for non-ferrous applications – expand the TungAluMill line.
TungAluMill is intended for efficient machining of aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous materials at high speed rates. The tool’s design eliminates radial insert displacement caused by heavy cutting forces and strong centrifugal forces during high-speed rotation of the cutter. Additionally, the insert’s top and peripheral surfaces are ground and polished to a mirror-like finish, resulting in high-positive and sharp cutting edges ensuring soft cutting action, good surface finishing quality, and prevention of built-up edge formation.
Built on the features of the XVCT-AJ inserts, XVCT-AM inserts introduce an enhanced interface design improving insert retention during high-speed machining while reducing raw material usage for insert production.

The Chip Fan


A metal cutting accessory – the Chip Fan – features a unique fan blade design activated by centrifugal force to support automated chip clearance, especially effective while operating unattended or lights-out machining. A tooling accessory supporting machinists across industries to minimize downtime, the Chip Fan’s chip clearance capabilities deliver less disruptive machining stops during long-term operations.
The Chip Fan is manufactured with a 4140-steel cylindrical shank and durable, glass fiber reinforced nylon fan blades that can easily be replaced if they become worn or damaged. The accessory features through-coolant with fan blades to support complete chip evacuation.
