Proxxon 3-Pieces Milling Cutters (1/32 , 5/64 , 7/64 ) (27116)

The Proxxon 3-Pieces Milling Cutters (1/32″, 5/64″, 7/64″) (27116) provides essential tools for precision material removal and shaping. Crafted in Germany from solid tungsten, these high-quality cutters are designed for demanding tasks in various applications, from intricate model making to detailed engraving and general milling.

This set includes three distinct cutter sizes: 1/32″ (approx. 1.0mm), 5/64″ (approx. 2.0mm), and 7/64″ (approx. 3.0mm). Each cutter features a robust 7/64″ (3.0mm) shank, ensuring compatibility with a range of milling machines and rotary tools that accept this standard shank size.

The double flute design combined with a unique “fishtail” profile allows for versatile cutting operations. This profile enables the cutters to bore directly into workpieces without requiring a pre-drilled hole, offering efficiency for various tasks. Engineered for clockwise rotation, these cutters deliver clean and accurate results on a wide array of materials, including metals like cast iron, steel, brass, and aluminum, as well as non-metals such as glass, various plastics, carbon fiber, and wood.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Precision Machining: Enables accurate and clean cuts for intricate details, crucial for model making and detailed engraving.Versatile Material Compatibility: Effectively cuts cast iron, steel, brass, aluminum, glass, plastics, carbon fiber, and wood, offering broad application possibilities.Direct Boring Capability: The “fishtail” profile allows for direct plunging into materials without prior drilling, streamlining work processes.High-Grade Construction: Made from solid tungsten, ensuring longevity and consistent cutting performance due to the material’s inherent hardness.German Engineering: Reflects Proxxon’s commitment to quality and precision in tool manufacturing.Clockwise Cutting Design: Optimized for efficient and effective material removal when used in the specified rotation direction.SPECIFICATIONS:Brand: ProxxonModel: 27116Color: SilverIncluded in Product: Three milling cutters (1/32″, 5/64″, 7/64″) supplied in a protective box.Length (cm): 9 (for the packaging)Width (cm): 8 (for the packaging)Height (cm): 1.1 (for the packaging)Weight (g): 20 (for the packaged set)HOW TO USE:Select the Right Cutter: Choose the appropriate milling cutter size (1/32″, 5/64″, or 7/64″) based on the specific detail and depth required for your task.Secure the Workpiece: Firmly clamp your material to the milling machine’s table or work surface to prevent movement during operation.Insert the Cutter: Place the 7/64″ (3.0mm) shank of the chosen cutter into the collet or chuck of your milling machine. Ensure it is inserted deeply enough and tightened securely to prevent slippage during use.Set Machine Speed: Adjust the milling machine’s RPM (revolutions per minute) according to the material being cut. Harder materials generally require lower speeds, while softer materials can accommodate higher speeds.Initiate Cutting: Begin cutting by gently bringing the rotating cutter into contact with the material. For boring, gradually feed the cutter downwards. For milling, move the workpiece or cutter along the desired path.Maintain Proper Feed Rate: Apply a consistent and appropriate feed rate. Avoid excessive force, as this can lead to cutter breakage, especially with small tungsten tools.Clear Debris: Regularly clear chips and debris from the cutting area to maintain visibility and prevent tool interference.Cooling (Optional): For some materials and prolonged operations, consider using a cutting fluid or coolant to extend tool life and improve surface finish.Clean After Use: After completing your work, carefully remove the cutter and clean it to remove any material residue before storing it in its protective box.BENEFITS OF USING PROXXON 3-PIECES MILLING CUTTERS (1/32″, 5/64″, 7/64″) (27116):Allows for very fine and intricate detailing in crafting and model making.Offers substantial flexibility to work across different project requirements due to material versatility.Contributes to cleaner and more precise finished surfaces on milled components.Simplifies initial cuts by eliminating the need for pre-drilling, saving time.Provides assurance of a quality product originating from established German manufacturing standards.Helps reduce the need for frequent tool replacement due to their robust tungsten composition.FEATURES:Set of three precise milling cutters.Each cutter has a 7/64″ (3.0mm) shank.Constructed from high-grade solid tungsten.Designed with two cutting flutes for effective material removal.Fitted with a specialized “fishtail” cutting end.Specifically engineered for operation in a clockwise rotation.Packaged securely in a protective case.Suitable for applications requiring fine engraving.Capable of creating precise slots and profiles.Manufactured adhering to German quality standards.
