Sterling Edge's feed mill inserts are designed to satisfy today's demand for high-feed machining. The high feed geometry with 3deg drafted side walls are excellent for circle interpolation of large holes and pockets as well as profile cutting. Using light depths of cuts, high-speed machining is capable of low spindle loads because of vertical cutting pressure, less vibration and deflection, giving you high chip loads per tooth without excessive spindle wear. Sterling Edge Feed Mill Insert to perform reliably unattended without the worry of a catastrophic insert failure.
Cemented carbides are a class of hard materials used extensively for cutting tools, as well as in other industrial applications. It consists of fine particles of carbide cemented into a composite by a binder metal. Cemented carbides commonly use tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC), or tantalum carbide (TaC) as the aggregate. Mentions of "carbide" or "tungsten carbide" in industrial contexts usually refer to these cemented composites. The cobalt content could vary from 5% to 23% base on application. 8% to 12% are the most common for cutting tools. Ruthenium is used to replace cobalt as a perfered binder for the best cutting performance.
Used in hard machining applications of 50-70 RC for abrasive materials where heat is an issue.
