Dormer announces rotary tooling products

Dormer has expanded the range of applications covered by its rotary tooling with the introduction of several products.

Highlights from the second of Dormer's biannual product launches include universal solid carbide end mills, cutters for steel and aluminium, and drills for deep hole applications.

The universal solid carbide cutters have been designed to offer high productivity and affordability across a wide range of materials and applications.

These are available in 2 flute (S922), 3 flute (S933) and 4 flute (S944) geometry with TiAlN coating.

Dormer's solid carbide cutters for steels include both medium (S250, S252) and long length (S254, S255) end mills designed for high metal removal operations, semi-roughing, semi-finishing and finishing.

All incorporate Dormer's unequal helix angle design that is said to provide greater stability, less tool vibration and a superior finish.

The solid carbide cutters for aluminium include the S143, S145 and S149, which feature extra-long effective length for contouring operations involving thin or high walls.

The S144 (with corner radius) can also be used for roughing, while the S540 (ball nosed) is suitable for 3D forming, profiling and several kinds of finishing operations.

HSCO drills for deep hole applications complete the programme.

Available in a variety of lengths - from stub to extra length - they cover drilling operations in most materials from 3xD (A920, A921), 6xD (A900, A901), 10xD (A940, A941) and 15xD (A976, A977, A978).

All product launches are supported by literature that includes full range details, dimensional data and optimum operating conditions.

Nice article on metal forming. There are many ways to bend and form metal such as press brakes, roll former and benders. I've found several good articles at Industrial Machinery News (http://www.industrial-machinery-news.com)

They are worth a look.
