Seco Introduces New Insert Sizes

January 26, 2016

Seco introduced two new insert sizes to its family of 335.25 disc milling cutters, a successful line that provides manufacturers with high flexibility and productivity. With the additions of XNHQ inserts in 9 mm and 12 mm sizes, the cutter now offers a range of cutting widths from 0.531" to 1.26" (13 mm to 32 mm) for an even greater variety of applications.

The versatile 335.25 disc milling cutter performs slotting, back facing, helical and circular interpolation and plunging operations. Incorporating a unique cutter design and insert geometry with four cutting edges, the 335.25 reduces cutting forces and optimizes chip flow to ensure reliable and productive machining. The line features both fixed-pocket and adjustable-width versions to accommodate all production environments.

Available in diameters ranging from 4.00" to 12.00" (80 mm to 315 mm), the 335.25 line includes 0.75" and 1.00" (15 mm, 20 mm and 25 mm) cutting widths for the fixed-pocket version and from 0.531" to 1.26" (13 mm to 32 mm) cutting widths for the adjustable-pocket version. Inserts are offered in four sizes with corner radii from 0.016" to 0.236" (0.4 mm to 6.0 mm). Additionally, the range of insert grades available allows the 335.25 to be applied to all material types and each insert reduces costs by offering four cutting edges, two left hand and two right hand.
