Seco cutters reduce cost of tool inventory with versatility

Manufacturers looking for machining versatility and precision can combine Seco Turbo 16 angle mills and Helical Turbo 16 milling cutters to reduce tool inventory and costs. Both series offer high stock removal rates in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, nonferrous metals, superalloys and titanium. Scannable Data Matrix tags on milling cutter plates store product and batch information that the new Seco Assistant app can read.

Turbo 16 Angle Cutters: Optimized geometry and durable materials

The versatile Turbo 16 angle cutters deliver excellent results and process reliability with exceptional copy milling capability. Optimized cutting plate angles improve the cut and provide excellent surface finish. With a high helix angle for smoother workpiece entry and exit, these cutters also provide efficient chip removal. Lower cutting forces reduce power consumption, tool wear and noise levels. "Manufacturers can achieve production efficiency and improve machining performance in virtually any material with these tools," said Michael Davies, Global Product Manager Square Shoulder Milling. The eco-friendly design uses corrosion-resistant steel without nickel coating.

Helical Turbo 16 cutters: Aggressive stock removal rate and smoother cuts

Combining top performance with ease of use, the new generation of Helical Turbo 16 cutters benefits from an extensive range of Seco cutting plate grades and geometries for exceptional machining rates (MRR) and longer tool life. Larger cuts and higher feeds reduce cycle times and speed up production, with optimized coolant channels, grooves and chip angles for stable machining and optimum chip formation. Helical Turbo 16 ensures that cutter and spiral cutting plates are not interchanged when using large radii. The replacement of nickel milling coatings with PVD increases durability. "These features provide smoother cuts, longer tool life and increased process reliability for faster production. Helical Turbo 16 uses fewer cutting plates than equivalent tools delivering the same MRR," said Benoît Patriarca, Global Product Manager Helical Milling.
