Milling Insert

This modular style of construction is appropriate for large milling cutters for about the same reason that large diesel engines use separate pieces for each cylinder and head whereas a smaller engine would use one integrated casting. Two reasons are that (1) for the maker it is more practical (and thus less expensive) to make the individual pieces as separate endeavors than to machine all their features in relation to each other while the whole unit is integrated (which would require a larger machine tool work envelope); and (2) the user can change some pieces while keeping other pieces the same (rather than changing the whole unit). One arbor can serve for various shells at different times. It is also possible that a crashed tool scraps only the shell rather than both the shell and arbor. To also avoid damage to the shell, many cutters, especially in larger diameters, also have another replaceable part called shim, which is mounted to the shell and the inserts are mounted on the shim. That way, in case of light damage, only the insert and maximum the shim needs replacement. The shell is safe. This would be like crashing a “regular” endmill and being able to reuse the shank rather than losing it along with the flutes.

Features

RME01 Series Features:
	Not adjustable. It is suitable for rough milling, installing rough milling inserts, fast installation, no adjustment required. High processing efficiency can be obtained.
RME02 Series Features:
	Wiper is adjustable. It is suitable for fine milling. It can be used in combination with cutting inserts + wiper inserts. Only the wiper inserts can be adjusted to obtain high surface processing quality.
RME03 Series Features:
	Fully adjustable. It is suitable for semi-finish milling and fine milling. The same cutting insert is installed, and all of them can be adjusted to obtain higher surface processing quality.
