The new generation of
Seco Round 20 copy mills and inserts offers excellent performance in a wide range of applications, including face, side, slot, plunge and ramp milling. Round 20 inserts are compatible with cutter bodies from previous generations and provide additional performance in challenging materials.
The new Seco Round 20 cutters and inserts are well suited for highly productive medium-to-rough milling in steel, stainless steels and heat-resistant superalloys and can also be productively applied to cast iron and hardened steels. The large-diameter inserts maximise material removal rates and offer a cost-effective means to generate an R10mm radii with 20mm round inserts.
Seco product manager Benoit Patriarca said: “The new generation of Round 20 represents a significant step forward from its predecessors. With today’s Round 20, inserts can be indexed to four, six or eight positions, allowing users to match the insert consumption to the depth of cut being taken. This flexibility also means the new inserts integrate with existing cutter bodies that index to four or eight positions.”
Through the use of insert shims and cassettes, users can maximise the life of Round 20 cutter bodies. With these options, manufacturers reduce the risk of damaging an insert pocket and eliminate the replacement cost and potential downtime that accompany unexpected tool breakage.
Round 20 features 16 available cutter bodies with four shim options and three cassette options as well as 30 indexable cutting inserts.
