End mill for composites introduced by Sandvik Coromant
New tool extends the company’s successful CoroMill® Plura rangeThe new CoroMill® Plura compression end mill for composites from Sandvik Coromant is certain to be of great interest to any manufacturer machining carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Unlike conventional end milling cutters, the innovative CoroMill Plura tool combines positive and negative helix design to ‘compress’ the top and bottom of the component edge. This minimizes any potential for splintering, a common defect when machining CFRP and several other types of engineering composites using higher helix cutters. Edge
