High-Feed Milling Insert

Nexus Cutting Tools from Techniks Inc. (Indianapolis, IN) introduces its SNKX high-feed insert as the latest addition to its fast-growing solutions for indexable carbide. Optimized for high-feed milling, the new SNKX geometry is the first high-feed square insert available to customers. Featuring eight corners with helical geometry, its size and unique design delivers more cutting edges per insert, thus dramatically increasing productivity.

The SNKX insert is manufactured with proprietary sub-micro grain carbide and advanced PVD coating technology, which is up to five times thicker than most PVD coatings. This allows for machining of multiple materials and ensuring excellent tool life.

The specific advantages of the new Nexus high-feed milling cutters are high material removal rates along with eight economical cutting edges. Applications include face milling, copy milling, plunge milling and roughing operations on pockets and 3D surfaces.
