Would you use two different cutters for this job? 🔥

In this application, we start with high-feed profile milling and transition to radius insert profile machining by simply changing insert styles in the same cutter body.

Tungaloy's DoTwistBall is designed for 3D milling and profiling applications, combining a larger depth of cut capability, secure insert clamping, and exceptional insert strength and chip evacuation for cavities and complex surfaces.

Using Tungaloy's BallFinishNose and MST's MillBore to achieve the target diameter quickly and accurately on FANUC's ROBODRILL. 📍

This process follows roughing, pre-finishing, in-machine measurement, offset correction, and final finishing to achieve the required dimensional accuracy. Using the new G171 G-code on ROBODRILL, the finishing diameter is adjusted based on the measurement result inside the machine!

The key point is not just measuring the part but also using that measurement to correct the final finishing process.

G Code / Cutting Parameters:
G171 T4 G99 R5. W0 Z-10. D8 I34. Q1. F4000

Grooving an interrupted workpiece with cermet! 🔥

Being able to utilize cermet inserts as an alternative to carbide tools can be valuable and cost effective in this market to reduce the overall carbide usage and produce a superior surface finish.

We tried high-feed grooving on a square bar to see how far cermet can really go. This video shows that carbide isn’t the only answer when it comes to cutting performance. At the end, we also measured the surface roughness after machining.

Product: TungCut

Tool : CTEL16-3T09
Insert : DTX3-030 AH7025 / NS9530

Cutting Parameters: Vc = 984 sfm (300 m/min), f = 0.0079 ipr (0.2 mm/rev), CW = 0.118" (3 mm), CDX = 0.197" (5 mm)

Machining a dice from a solid block of titanium using ROBODRILL and Tungaloy's Tools. 🎲

Tungaloy × FANUC collaboration:

In addition to face milling and radius chamfering, the numbers were machined using thread milling and the G184 threading program.

TungEightMill: [Face Milling (φ63 mm)]
sfm = Roughing 262 / Finishing 262 (80 m/min)
ipt = Roughing 0.0079 / Finishing 0.0024 (0.2 / 0.06 mm/t)
DOC = Roughing 0.067 / Finishing 0.0008" (1.7 / 0.02 mm)
Stepover = Roughing 1.969 / Finishing 1.969" (50 / 50 mm)

TungMeister [Chamfering (R2.5)]
sfm = 253–492 (77–150 m/min)
ipt = 0.0020 (0.05 mm/t)
Cutting speed varies depending on the cutting edge position.

[Thread Milling M12×1.75]
sfm = 167 (51 m/min)
ipt = 0.00055 (0.014 mm/t)

[Thread Milling M8×1.25]
sfm = 164 (50 m/min)
ipt = 0.00047 (0.012 mm/t)

Material : Ti-6Al-4V

Machine : ROBODRILL

You might be running through more carbide than your application requires.

We ran heavy interrupted cuts comparing a standard ISO insert to Tungaloy’s ISOEcoTurn smaller IC alternative with the same speeds, feeds, DOC, and conditions.

Over 40+ interrupted passes in steel, both delivered stable performance and consistent chip control. But one used significantly less carbide to do it.

If your DOC is under 3 mm (0.118”), this is where cost savings start adding up fast.

Inserts:
CNMG 432 TSF T9225 (Standard)
CNMG 332E TSF T9225 (ISOEcoTurn)

Cutting Parameters:
Vc = 700 SFM (213 m/min), F = 0.010 IPR (0.254 mm/rev), DOC = 0.010" (0.254 mm)
