The AHX640W for high efficiency machining of cast irons. For specific details, see our C004A catalog or B160A brochure.

Technical Information:

• The AHX640W face milling cutter offers greatly improved productivity and high cost efficiency
• The newly developed CVD coated grade,(MC5020), has excellent wear, chipping, and thermal crack resistance
• MC5020 grade prevents problems usually associated with machining cast irons, due to it's structure and features
• Heptagonal double sided inserts offer 14-useable edges; this substantially reduces tool costs
• Double positive cutting edge geometry that offers low cutting resistance, using MK-breaker insert
• The new unique AFI wedge clamp system ensures insert with remain stable even under demanding applications

Applications to Target:

• Machining of cast iron, ductile iron parts
• Machining of automotive suspension components and diesel engines
• Machining of gear housings, transmission cases and even Die & Mold, (press mold base)
• Machining of cast iron milling for prolonged periods is possible, due to a newly developed CVD coated grade MC5020

Benefits:

• Extra fine pitch & super fine pitch design allows for ultra high efficiency machining
• High rigidity inserts suitable for high feed milling of cast irons
• 3-inserts available: MK-General purpose, HK-Strong edge type, WK-Wiper insert
• MK-breaker inserts have a sloped cutting edge and large rake angle for low cutting resistance
• HK-breaker inserts have a stong cutting edge for demanding applications
• WK-Wiper inserts feature 2-Righthand & 2-Lefthand cutting edges
