Roughing applications

High volume milling or roughing?

Van Hoorn Carbide designed a program of HVM or roughing on a wide spectrum of applications and materials: Steels up to 48HRc, alloy steels, tools steels, stainless steels, carbon steel, cast iron as well as materials that contain Chrome (Cr) or Nickel (Ni).

Advantages:

  • Smooth cutting
  • Optimized surface finish
  • High feed rate capabilities
  • Reduction of operation times and tooling costs
  • Slot milling up to 1,5xD
  • Side milling: Ae = 0,5xD with Ap = 2xD

VHC High volume milling and roughing:

  • VHVF: Sharp corner geometry
  • VHVFR: Corner radius
  • VHVFF: 3 and 4 flute, with chamfer
  • VHRFF: Chamfer and with ripper profile

"Additional recommendations to optimize performance: Use coolant when available, stable clamping of tool and work piece and use with correct cutting conditions, based on VHC application guidelines."
