Cutting tool manufacturer Horn has introduced a new, modular, interchangeable-head milling system. The DG range has a stable interface between the solid carbide, monobloc cutting head and the shank, allowing accurate changeover to within microns. The shank is either solid carbide or steel and has an internal coolant supply.

The economical, resource-saving tool solution achieves high precision through the use of a guide pin, a trapezoidal thread and a face-and-taper contact. The design reduces the cost of manufacture and shortens set-up times for the user. Modularity ensures rapid changeover to a different cutting head, either standard or custom.

Horn stocks the milling system in standard diameters of 10, 12, 16, 20 and 25 mm. Numerous cutter shapes for the most common machining tasks are also available from stock. The user can choose an interchangeable head with a cutting edge length of either 0.5 x diameter or 1 x diameter to suit the application. Horn offers the cutting heads in new carbide grade, RC4P, for productively and economically machining material groups P (steels) and K (cast irons).
