- 3-D flute design offers excellent chip disposal
- Good tool life, due to effective chip control and low cutting resistance
- The APX4K 50mm has 3-effective flutes & the 63mm has 4-effective flutes; both can provide increased productivity
- Inserts with 0.032" radius are recommended
- For Tool Description and Cutting Conditions, please see tabs at the bottom of this Excel sheet
Applications to Target:
- Machining parts where you need to reach deep into a cavity
- Machining steel & other materials, where the parts have tall flat surfaces
- The use of the long cutting edge type makes it possible to dramatically increase efficiency
- APX can produce a good wall finish, using the M-breaker
Benefits:
- Grade VP15TF recommended for cutting steel, cast & ductile irons
- Grade VP20RT recommended for cutting stainless steel & demanding applications
- Our M-breaker, (sharp cutting edge), is the first choice for most applications
- Our H-breaker, (tough cutting edge), is the first choice for demanding applications
