The polycrystalline diamond (PCD) milling programme manufactured by German tool manufacturer Horn has gained the new DM50 series, an exchangeable-head milling system for economical machining of aluminium that is particularly well suited to applications where cycle times are critical. The design enables soft cutting and high surface quality to be achieved. Availability in the UK and Ireland is through subsidiary company Horn Cutting Tools, Ringwood.

With the DM50, Horn has introduced a tool concept that offers low wear, high versatility and cost effectiveness. The main wear zone of the head as well as the PCD inserts can be replaced, as can an intermediate sleeve that enables different tool lengths. The system is therefore a tool solution that can be customised to numerous applications, while at the same time reducing operating and service costs.

Thanks to their adaptability, the cutters can be converted quickly to inserts with different corner radii and to the desired cutting height. The combination of cutting edges on the face and periphery is tailored to different application requirements and milling techniques. Precise positioning on head changeover, without the need to enter any offset into the machine tool control, guarantees accurate milling while speeding set-up.
