Insert milling cutters are milling tools equipped with replaceable inserts. These inserts, also called inserts, can be easily and quickly replaced in case of wear or breakage, which reduces maintenance time and lowers overall costs.
Insert milling cutters are used for standard and custom solutions. Standard solutions are suitable for common milling applications such as machining steel, aluminum, cast iron or stainless steel. Here, the inserts are usually used with a 90-degree cutting edge.
Special solutions are designed for special applications such as the machining of materials that are difficult to machine or for high-speed machining. Here, inserts with special cutting edges or coatings optimized for the respective application are used.
Insert milling cutters are available in various designs, such as face milling cutters, corner milling cutters or end milling cutters. The choice of the right insert cutter depends on the type of material, the machining requirement and the machine being used.
