The new Seco LN4-11 Helical Milling Cutter provides up to three times longer tool life per edge and boosts productivity to achieve lower cost per part, the company reported. The cutter offers high material removal rates in applications requiring a helical milling cutter 32 mm to 63 mm in diameter.

"The LN4-11 provides shops several avenues to cut costs and improve profitability," said a company spokesperson. "Its adaptability to a variety of applications enables shops to reduce tooling inventories and costs. Operators simply change out the cutter's inserts to go from one application the next. The tool's front and helical insert pockets also eliminate the risk of incorrect insert placement to improve efficiency and reduce waste."

Seco Product Manager Magnus Engdahl said: "It is impossible to load the inserts of the cutter incorrectly, and every cutter body and insert feature an individual Seco Data Matrix code that provides access to cutting data and spare part tracking. It is an excellent opportunity for shops to improve productivity and efficiency while overcoming the challenges created by lesser skilled operators."

The milling cutter has two different inserts. There are two cutting edges on the front inserts and four edges on the helix inserts. The design allows robust machining operations and aggressive material removal rates, the company noted. Cost performance is enhanced, and tool life is improved. Inserts are available in a broad range of grades and geometries for a variety of operations and materials. The LN4-11 is suited for general engineering and automotive applications as well as those in the aerospace sector.

Each cutter's individual Data Matrix code provides easy access to all relevant tooling information, including individual data metrics, cutting data, compatible products and spare parts.
