The quest for reducing levels of power consumption in the global metal cutting sector is not a new trend; today it has become an essential technical requirement. Cutting tools have a major role to play in this area. Total power requirements can be moderated by the use of advanced new tools. In particular, innovative milling tools offer promising opportunities.
In selecting 90°milling cutters, there are several factors to be examined such as the material to be machined, the removal of stock, required accuracy, surface finish, stability, and the characteristics of the machine tool in use.
End mills featuring a cutting edge that is reminiscent of a barrel profile were introduced 25 years ago. However, advances in 5-axis machining and in CAM systems have significantly expanded the boundaries of barrel end mill applications.
