Hight speed tools for Alu less 530 N/mm2

[Euclid27]

The new Haas machine is here and we are looking for hight speed tools which can run with 15 000 rpm. With our old one, we were using Garant VHM tools, but up to 8000 rpm (rpm according to catalogue). Need to level up . I wonder if anybody could help us.

And one more question from the newbie. If I know optimal rpm for a tool (from seller`s cataloge), how should I estimate optimal feedrate? I can use formula. But in tables, tooth loading is given for only 1 state. And it is different when I, for instance, change Z pass. Please help!

for aluminum we use OSG blizzard end mills.

 

PS: did someone in Germany actually buy a Hass? I thought Europeans only bought the best of the best.

We make moulds for foam parts, so Haas is enough in tolerance.

Is that what you were looking for?

 

I forgot to mention that the OSG cataloge gives the feedrate change % for depth of cuts and tool overhange as well. They have always worked for us.

Thank you, Eric. We will try these tools in the nearest future. By the way, in Europe it has different name, not Blizzard
