The YG Mill High Feed 4 is a new high feed milling series developed to meet the most stringent demands of versatility, productivity and process stability required in todays applications. These types of tools are commonly used in mold & die, power generation and a cross a variety of applications and materials in the general machining markets. The unique YG Mill HF4 concept is the ideal tooling choice for high feed milling in smaller sizes.
The unique thickness of the YG-1 ENMX offers a series of benefits. A typical wear pattern in high feed milling is flank wear and as this wear expands, it may encroach on the secondary edge. By making the inserts 20-25% thicker than existing solutions on the market, one can allow this wear to develop without encroaching on secondary edge, resulting in full use of all 4 edges, yielding an economical solution. The insert thickness also lends itself to the most stable clamping ensuring predictable and secure machining and longer tool life in the toughest applications.
The thicker negative insert has a positive rake angle that improves chip evacuation and reduces machining load. And corner protection design is applied to enhance the rigidity while increasing tool life with optimal geometry of chip-breakers.
The ENMX cylindrical cutter is available from diameter from 16mm up to 32mm (0.75”-1.25”). The ENMX shell mills are available from 40mm up to 50mm (1.5”-2”)
As shown in figure 1, the ENMX is able to demonstrate stable machining with low cutting force and exceptional tool life by approximately 230 percent versus a competitor in the processing in Carbon Steel C45, which is particularly prone to insert chipping which may lead to tool breakage.
The YG Mill HF4 is a surefire solution for your most demanding high feed applications offering unparalleled value. Start increasing your profitability with YG Mill HF4 today!
