The New Seco Double Quattromill 14 Maximizes Low-Horsepower Face Milling Operations

Face Milling Solutions

Shops across the country continue to search for solutions to maximize their milling operations with lower horsepower machines. In response to this demand, Seco Tools, recently launched the Double Quattromill 14 face milling cutter. This cost-effective solution allows low-power machines to significantly increase depths of rough cutting, semi-finishing and finishing. The design is a smaller version of the Double Quattromill 22, a face milling cutter, that boosts metal removal rates for machines with higher horsepower and torque capability.

Seco Double Quattromill 14

How it Works

Using double-sided inserts with eight cutting edges The Double Quattromill 14 can achieve depths of cut up to 0.236" (6mm) in its 48° lead angle version and up to 0.315" (8mm) in its 71° version. For better chip thinning and higher feed rates, the 48° angle excels in weak or unstable fixturing. With better clearance to avoid sidewalls or part fixturing than the 48° degree, the 71° angle reaches high depths of cut with the same size inscribed circle (I.C.) on the insert.

This Double Quattromill 14’s free cutting capabilities allow it to:

  • Extend tool life
  • Lowers cutting forces
  • Reduces machine power consumption

Available Options and Features

The cutter is offered in:

  • Standard or close pitch
  • Metric or inch versions
  • Fixed pocket or cassette style cutter bodies

Seco also applied its new surface texture technology to the cutter's body flute surfaces for durability and greater chip control and evacuation.

The Double Quattromill 14 comes in three insert ranges with various edges and grades.

  • The ME10 geometry works with sticky materials such as titanium and stainless steel.
  • The M10 geometry includes sharper edges and smaller T lands for reduced cutting force that excels at lower horsepower levels, working with sticky materials, some tool steels and super alloys.
  • The M16 provides the best edge protection of the three insert geometries when machining abrasive materials such as steels, tool steels and cast irons.
