As part of Sandvik Coromant's M5 series, M5Q90 is a new concept roughing tangential milling cutter. It is designed to clean the surface in the first processing stage of a new cast aluminum part in a single operation without burrs.

The challenge is: as we all know, aluminum is a difficult-to-cut material, and the use of traditional milling cutters usually results in poor finish and burr quality. These tools also require a lengthy setup process and are limited by irregular tool wear, shortened tool life, and long cycle times.

Sandvik Coromant is specifically designed to improve the efficiency of machine tool operations and has introduced special tool solutions for the automotive industry, including M5 milling cutters. The complete series of M5 milling cutters provide all functions from first stage machining to super finishing-to optimize quality and unit cost. Watch this demo to see how these new milling concepts reduce cycle time and extend tool life.

Multi-task machining can greatly improve any metal cutting process.

When machinists look for ways to increase productivity, they usually buy new tool holders or cutting tools, but in reality, they need a consistent tool setting process. (sponsor)
