In the world of high-precision machining, having the right tools can make all the difference. Millstar offers a range of inserts designed to meet the exacting standards of today’s machining professionals. Here’s a closer look at some of the standout options available in the Millstar catalogue:
Ball Nose Inserts
MBT SuperFinisher Ball Nose Insert
- Precision Ground and Harder Grade: Ideal for semi-finish and finish milling.
- Unattended Finish Milling: Excellent choice for operations requiring small depths, high speeds, and feed rates.
MB Ball Nose Insert
- Versatile Cutting Edge: Suitable for all operations in materials below 42 HRc and semi-finish and finish operations above this hardness.
- Enhanced Chip Evacuation: Unique insert geometry allows smoother cutting motion, reduces heat buildup and tool deflection, and minimizes vibration.
VRBS Small Ball Nose Insert
- Detail and Surface Milling: Perfect for semi and finish-milling small radius or detail work, and surface milling in soft and hard steel, cast iron, aerospace alloys, and more.
- High Speed and Hard Milling: Suitable for high-speed applications.
RB-N Ball Nose Insert
- Precision Ground, Non-Chipbreaker: Best for cavity, core, and profile milling of pre-hard and fully hard die/mold steels, cast steels, and cast iron.
- Strong Cutting Edge Design: Ensures durability and precision.
RBT Insert
- Precision Ground for Semi-Finish and Finish Milling: Ideal for unattended finish milling at small depths and high speed and feed rates.
BS-N Ball Nose Insert
- Sidecutting, Non-Chipbreaker: Used in cavity and core profiling, perfect for blending fillets on medium and hard materials.
Flat Bottom Inserts
BDS Flat Bottom Insert
- Unique Crossover Design: Between flat bottom FB and back draft BD inserts, it allows straight walls with larger step down than BD but less cutting forces than FB. Enables higher cutting speeds and feeds.
FB-R Flat Bottom Insert
- Precision Ground with Positive Ground Chipbreaker: Designed for shoulder milling, fillet finishing, and long reach angular wall finishing of softer materials.
HF (High Feed) Inserts
- Designed for High Speed and High Feed Machining: The HF insert runs at high cutting speeds and feed rates with shallow depth of cut.
- Curved Geometry for Smooth Chip Flow: Allows heavy chip loads and minimizes vibration and deflection.
Back Draft Inserts
BD-R Back Draft Insert
- Precision Ground with Positive Ground Chipbreaker and 7 Degree Backtaper: Used for milling cores, cavities, and fillets with straight or very steep walls of softer materials.
VBD Small Back Draft Insert
- Detail Work and Surface Milling: Ideal for semi and finish-milling small radius or detail work, suitable for high speed and hard milling in various materials.
BD-N Back Draft Insert
- Non-Chipbreaker with 7 Degree Backtaper: Used for milling cores, cavities, and fillets with straight or very steep walls of harder materials.
TOBD-NF Back Draft Inserts for Non-Ferrous Materials
- High Speed and High Feed Roughing of Aluminum: Also versatile for fine finishing. The unique cutting-edge design allows for free chip flow, higher speeds, and feeds.
Specialty Inserts
CBN Tipped Inserts
- High Speed Machining of High Hardness Materials: Offers longer tool life and superior finishes.
PCD Tipped Inserts
- Carbon Milling: Provides longer tool life.
Toroid Inserts
TO Toroid Bull Nose Insert
- Precision Ground with Large Corner Radius and Back Taper: Ideal for spiral and pocket milling of pre-hard and hardened flat surfaces at higher speeds.
