From what I read, I "need a high-shear" cutter for this type of machine.
I am looking at a VNE 4" facemill with 6 cutters, comes with SEKT 43AFTN LT30 1204 carbide inserts. I will be using it mainly for steels, doubtfully anything too hard.
I recognize this may be a lot of cutter for this machine, but I can watch the amps on the VFD so I know I'm not overloading the motor, at least.
I've tried to find some info on the VNE brand but found nothing. Does anybody have any experience or knowledge please ?
Secondly, selecting an insert is a minefield for me. Is the insert I've mentioned above appropriate for my needs, please ? Is the geometry a good choice, and the grade ?
If not could somebody point me in a better direction please ?
I currently have a 2" dia cutter using TNG inserts. Looking for something bigger and with the "high-shear" feature.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
