Side Milling finishing of a triple Tapered Punch Die | Seco Tools

This clip shows the finish side-milling of a triple-tapered (1°-3°-5°) Durox punch die. The customer needed to reduce cycle time without compromising on quality. By using a barrel instead of a ball-nose endmill, the cycle time was 10 times shorter, achieving excellent surface finish - roughness Ra 0.14 µm One of the main challenges was the use of a barrel endmill on a 3-ax machining center instead of a 5-ax machine, the cutter proved its versatility and productivity even in a tough application and material.
