Millstar tools are designed for conventional profile machining, and high speed and hard milling with modern machine tools and methods. Millstar Profile Milling Tools represent the latest in profile and contour milling technology, resulting in shorter machining and lead times, higher machining accuracy and true contouring results. Customers include die and mold machining companies, aluminum extrusion companies, high speed machining mold makers, and aerospace and medical component industries. Insert tooling is typically used in roughing and finishing applications. The Millstar product line is manufactured in the USA, and all tools are fully traceable. Nearly six decades of cutting tool design and manufacturing for automotive, aerospace and many other industries, as well as special design capabilities using 3-D CAD allow us to respond quickly to requests for special designs. The Millstar Story The 1 Insert Overview The Inserts • Choose from side-cutting ball nose Rock Solid Insert Millstar inserts are fully ground inserts with 180 degree nose radius, Clamping and popular ball nose inserts with a precision inserts for better chip control, Cutting insert clamping is highly cutting edge covering 230 degrees faster metal removal and higher surface accurate and rigid. Unique V-pocket for steep wall up-and-down ramping, accuracies. They are far more accurate design gives a truly positive seat for the profiling, contour milling and blending, than pressed and O.D. sharpened insert and will not allow insert and for a wider range of applications inserts. movement when milling with a compared to conventional ball • Positive ground chipbreaker or side thrust. “Sandwiched” nose tools. strong negative cutting edge designs insert clamping with single guarantee outstanding cutting • Select from a variety of flat bottom, locking screw is unsurpassed performance in a wide variety of back draft and toroid inserts for steep for rigidity. The advanced ferrous and non-ferrous materials. or straight wall milling with long design of Millstar inserts extensions on hard to reach cores, • A choice of state-of-the-art insert eliminates heat-seizing of cavities or fillets. Milling with small grades, designs and tool coatings allow locking screws or insert radii prevents deflection and results for optimum speed and feed rates in movement due to costly in superior finishes and contour wet and dry machining. Reduced locating screws or pins of accuracies. Available with or without machining times by 25% to 60% are less advanced design. chipbreaker and coating in a variety not uncommon. Positive V-pocket seating of corner radii and sizes. • Economical one-piece inserts eliminates mismatch when with two cutting edges are changing to fresh inserts. It cost-effective for contour milling. True also eliminates the need radius geometry is fully CNC-ground to program new length or for higher machining accuracy and diameter offsets. greatly reduced manual finishing and polishing time.
