Sandvik Coromant exhibit new end mill for composites at JEC

New cutting tool minimizes splintering on CFRP and many other compositesMaking its exhibition debut atJECEurope 2013 (Paris, 12-14 March), the new CoroMill® Plura compression end mill for composites is likely to be of great interest to any manufacturer machining CFRP.  Quality enhancedShowcasing on Smart Hub R9 in Pavilion 1, this innovative new tool combines positive and negative helix design to ‘compress’ the top and bottom of the component edge. This minimizes any opportunity for splintering, a common defect when machiningCFRP and many other types of engineering composites.
