Kennametal engineers have developed the Mill 1-10 tooling platform that performs all common machining applications such as face milling, shoulder milling, pocketing, slotting, interpolating, and ramping for steels, aluminum, or exotics, all with one common insert style. Exclusive First Choice grades and edge prep take the guesswork out of what insert to use when machining titanium, austenitic stainless steel, roughing or finishing aluminum, heavy roughing in all materials, and finishing in all materials. Cutter bodies come in straight flute and helical flute styles. End mills are available with integral cylindrical shanks in three lengths, Weldon shanks, or as a screw-on style head. They also are available as a shell mill. Helical cutter bodies use the Load Optimized Insert Spacing pattern developed by Kennametal that reduces cutting load variation by 75%. The inserts are one size and are designed with six geometries. The new Mill-10 end mill bodies are available with straight flutes in sizes ranging from .50in to 1.25in and helical flutes in sizes ranging from .75in to 1.25in. Straight flute shell mills come in sizes ranging from 1.5in to 4.0in and helical flute shell mills come in sizes ranging from 1.5in to 2.0in.
