New Carbide Core Extensions Improve Rigidity, Extend the Reach of Modular Heads
Dapra is pleased to announce a new line of Carbide Core Modular Extensions to complement our existing Modular Heads and Extensions. These extensions feature:
- Weldon shanks in standard inch sizes – ideal for standard end mill holders
- 3 sizes to accommodate modular head sizes from 3/4" to 1-1/2"
- Carbide core for enhanced vibration dampening capability; reduced deflection and improved rigidity
- Optional add-on extensions for additional 2" reach – screw on to base extensions (for 3/4" to 1-1/2" modular heads)
Self-Centering Vise for Universal Machining
Dapra has introduced a new line of self-centering vises for universal machining. Two models, the SC-125 (4.9" / 125mm wide) and the smaller SC-090 (3.9" / 90mm wide), are specifically designed to meet the demands of workholding on 5-axis milling machines. The new high-precision vises are compact, tall and self-centering. Parts are being held high above the vise bed, which gives the machine tool spindle access to virtually all sides of a workpiece. The self-centering feature allows all coordinates of the workpiece to be programmed from a common reference point. Click here for details.
New RHINO-CARB™ Toroid Inserts Provide Ultra-Aggressive Metal Cutting and Longer Tool Life
DAPRA is pleased to announce the introduction of RHINO-CARB, a full line of high-performance CNC-pressed Toroid inserts. Designed for aggressive metal cutting and long tool life, these thicker inserts offer greater strength and enhanced heat absorption capabilities. A positive top rake reduces cutting forces and torque, while a stronger cutting edge accommodates heavier chiploads and provides greater shock absorption. This new insert line fits current DAPRA Toroid end mills and shell mills with the aid of a thicker top clamp. Pressed round ("button") inserts, octagonal inserts, square inserts and high-feed inserts are available in sizes from 3/8" to 3/4" I.C. Click here for details on our full Toroid line.
New PCD Diamond Tip Option for Backdraft and XPET Inserts
New size now available: BDR-0375-N-PCD-R1/32
Dapra Corporation now offers optional PCD tips for both their Backdraft inserts and XPET 90-degree Square Shoulder inserts. These diamond-tipped inserts afford unsurpassed tool life for most aluminum and graphite milling applications. Their expected life is approximately 100 times that of normal TiAlN-coated inserts, providing the capability for high speeds and outstanding surface finishes. PCD-Tipped Backdraft inserts, for mold and die applications, are available in 1/2" and 3/4" diameters, with both 1/32" and 1/16" corner radii and a usable leg length of approximately 1/8". Designed to be used with 90-degree Square Shoulder Mills, the XPET inserts are 16mm in length, with a 1/32" corner radius. The XPET inserts also offer a 1/8" usable leg length.

The Allmatic TITAN 125: DAPRA's Most Versatile High-Pressure Vise
The new ALLMATIC TITAN 125 high-pressure vise is so versatile that, according to ALLMATIC, "Nothing is beyond its grasp!" Combining almost all of the functions of the popular ALLMATIC NC and T-REX, the TITAN 125 has all of the precision and versatility required of today's workholding tools. It has a robust GGG 60 base with hardened and ground guideways to provide a high level of accuracy and excellent wear resistance. The large side openings allow chips and cooling lubricant to escape. Threaded holes on both sides allow for the attachment of workpiece stops, and precise aligning slots in the base ensure smooth handling. Other benefits of the TITAN 125 include short set-up times, without an external power supply, and the capability to change workpieces in a matter of seconds.

High-Feed Inserts Enhance Roughing Capabilities for Small-Diameter Applications
Dapra has introduced a new series of High-Feed inserts that are ideal for smaller-diameter applications. The HFBD Series Inserts are designed for outstanding metal removal rates when used with Dapra's BNEM Cutter Bodies for high-feed roughing, pocketing, cavity/core roughing and helical interpolation. Available in 3/8" through 3/4" diameters, these versatile cutters are furnished in medium-temperature and high-temperature grades. A further advantage of the HFBD Inserts is their eligibility for Dapra's Ball Nose Replacement Program, through which the buyer can receive FREE and Discounted replacement Ball Nose Cutters for every 30 Inserts purchased. In addition to the new Inserts, Dapra has recently announced the availability of 3/4" and 1" Solid Carbide Ball Nose Cutter Bodies.
T-REX Allmatic Vise with Adjustable Gripper Studs
Dapra's Allmatic Precision Machine Vise line has been expanded to include the new T-REX Vise. The T-REX features adjustable gripper studs that are embedded into the workpiece, ensuring safe and quick clamping of raw parts, thermal cut parts and sawn off material. The T-REX is suitable for materials with a strength value of approximately 900 N/mm2 (with the exception of hardened materials), and features a movable pivot jaw to accommodate different workpiece shapes. The T-REX is easy to operate with a mechanical power intensifier. Click here for more details on the T-REX, or here to view our entire selection of Allmatic clamping systems.
