An under-shank type now available
New century
Antivibrated undershank endmill
An undercut type has been added to the popular general-purpose end mill series "New Century". This is variable pitch and variable leads type.
Product feature
Interference with the shank can be avoided when machining walls and deep grooves.
An R shape is provided to prevent the bite of the edge (tool scratch and steps) due to a slight tilt of the tool when machining a depth longer than the cutting edge length.
Cutting edge dia. line up: Φ5~Φ13
Type: 4NV-US (Square) and 4NV-USR (Radius)
test datea
Product code: 4NV-US-10.0 (Cutting edge dia.: Φ10/ Shank dia.: Φ8)
Cutting condition: Vc=120m/min S=3,820rpm F=610mm/min fz=0.04mm ap=10
We verified how much we need to reduce ae (Radial depth of cut) as the tool protrusion becomes longer.

Workpiece clamping condition
Workpiece material: S50C
Overhang amount: 30mm
-
Machining with overhang amount of 3D.
-
ae=4mm, No vibration
The surface is smooth under the condition of ae=4mm and overhang of 3D.
Overhang amount: 40mm
-
ae=2mm, Occurred vibration
In the case of about 4D overhang, vibration occurred even if it was decreased to ae=2 mm.
-
ae=1.5mm, No vibration
By reducing the radial direction to ae=1.5 mm, vibration was eliminated.
Overhang amount: 50mm
-
ae=1mm, Occurred vibration
With overhang of 50 mm (5D), vibration was occurred even with ae=1 mm.
-
ae=0.5mm, No vibration
By reducing the radial direction to 0.5mm, vibration was suppressed.
