Seco Tools launched T4-12 LOEX12 – M09 CUTTING GEOMETRY FOR STICKY MATERIALS
The new LOEX12 – M09 insert geometry for the T4-12 tangential milling cutter family offers superior performance when machining sticky materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and other heat-resistant super alloys.
The new geometry increases tool life and brings the high metal removal rates of T4-12 to these material groups.
Featuring an optimised clearance angle to ensure consistent cutting forces across the entire cutting radii, the LOEX12 – M09 achieves an excellent surface finish in addition to the gains in tool life and productivity. The new geometry provides benefits across a broad range of materials, offering exceptional value in sticky materials common to the aerospace, power generation, and general machining segments.
