We’ve been using face and shell mills awhile for a vast majority of machining processes and now are integrating various versions of these. The cost savings of end mills just in our initial change was astronomical and the finished product beyond any competitor. I am pretty ecstatic about integrating these into our machining process. It won’t remove all end mills but we will be using index cutters for 95% of our process. Also a product that we could only make 2-3/shift we were then able to make 12/shift after integrating indexable cutters. We anticipate this integration could get us closer to 18 a day for that one product alone. That’s a $600/day increase in revenue for a small investment paid off the first week after setup for just one product and we have 92 products in our catalog. A lot of people look at the dollar investment and not the payback. Or they don’t know how to take full advantage of the changeover.

You've got to love that cheap generic "Eye of the tiger" knock-off music that had to accompany any company presentation from the 90's :-)

It was 92 % actually but it was because they eliminated a bunch of tool changes and the entire finishing pass. Thats 60% right there.

Used to use one of these, good cutter for sure. It's all been replaced with solid carbide and high speed milling now though, this is so old hat!

They needed to change to differend mills all the time which took a lot o time but now they pretty much only needed one.

terrific

they were making knife blades?!?! why would they waste that much? and not use a press/water jet/laser anything beside a 1 inch end mill?!?!?

where can i buy this machine ?

Carbon steel

Seeing this now it looks so dated and it is

Chipper knives. Use google.
