Machining Tips for Mold & Die Shops
Plunge. Lead in. Profile. Lead out. Repeat until reaching final depth. Profile milling does not have to be this inefficient! As you’ll see here, whether you are helixing, contouring, pocketing or slotting, high-feed ramping allows you to rough in your part profile much more quickly.
Using indexable tooling from Dapra, you can achieve MRR that rivals high-efficiency milling – without the cost of solid carbide end mills. This flexible, ultra-fast, economical approach also allows you to run at the same parameters in long-reach applications with a 2x or 3x length-to-diameter ratio.
