MSX

August 5, 2014

Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc.’s new MSX High Speed Milling Cutter achieves high feed rates of up to .055 IPT for significantly reduced cycle times. To ensure higher rigidity and accuracy, the MSX features a double clamping system.

The MSX Mill is ideal for ramping and helical applications using general steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and cast iron. 

Recommended insert grades for steel include PVD-coated ACP200 and ACP300. For cast iron applications, PVD-coated ACK300 and CVD-coated ACK200 insert grades are recommended. The PVD-coated inserts provide excellent fracture resistance, while the CVD-coated insert offers excellent anti-adhesion and wear resistance.

The MSX is available in Weldon (EW) and Cylindrical (ELC) type shanks.

For a limited time, Sumitomo is offering the MSX Cutter at 50% savings or for free with the purchase of 10 inserts per pocket. Offer ends September 30, 2014.
