Tool 930i1624B
Cutting a 60-degree dovetail in hardened steel requires precision geometry and coating chemistry working together. Standard tooling struggles with the heat buildup and tool life demands these materials create during undercut operations.
- The 930i1624B uses a 0.25" cutting diameter with a reduced 0.1181" neck to access tight geometries while maintaining rigidity for the undercut passes dovetail features require.
- AlTiN coating handles the thermal cycling steel machining creates better than uncoated carbide.
- The coating's aluminum content forms a protective oxide layer at cutting temperatures, extending tool life in interrupted cuts common to workholding slot preparation.
- Two flutes balance chip evacuation with core strength.
- Sharp corners maintain the crisp feature definition fixture work demands.
- Steel, aluminum, and most machinable metals respond well to this geometry combination.
