Ingersoll Offers HiQuad Feed Cutter

March 11, 2014
The HiQuad XXX from Ingersoll Cutting Tools is a 30 degree bevel-high feed cutter offered in 13 mm and 19 mm IC insert sizes. Features include greater DOC, higher productivity, strong cutting geometries, four indexes per insert, up to seven different insert geometry styles, strong insert screw design, premium milling grades and the latest post coating treatment technology. HiQuad programming tips include using a two-time feed rate multiplier when programing to compensate and take advantage of the chip thinning, using 60 percent of the cutter diameter for determining the width of cut (WOC), selecting a deeper depth of cut when possible to leverage the material removal rate, coolant or air blast to ensure optimal direction, flow and pressure and more.
