ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL—A new 12-page, full-color catalog offering complete specifications and order numbers for the world’s first indexable insert endmill with eccentric relief – the BIG Daishowa FULLCUT MILL – is now available from BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc.

The catalog features easy-to-understand color graphics and charts to illustrate guidelines for using the variety of bodies available through the FULLCUT MILL system, including straight shanks, integral BT30, BT40, CAT40 with BIG PLUS dual face and taper contact, HSK40, HSK63 and Capto C6.

It includes cutting data recommendations for finish, light, medium and heavy milling applications. The catalog also presents usage and order information on FULLCUT MILL inserts, insert clamping screw sets, wrenches and anti-seize lubricant.

FULLCUT MILL’s design and manufacture assures extraordinary sharpness for smooth, chatter-free cutting and toughness for high performance, especially suited to small machines with low power capabilities. It equals or exceeds the performance of solid endmills and adds the advantages of indexable inserts that are exclusive for each cutter diameter from .50" to 2.0" with ideal rake angle and clearance.

It’s positive high rake cutting edge for both radial and axial directions achieves smooth and quiet endmilling. The eccentric relief angle is kept small to provide increased strength to the cutting edge without reducing the top rake and sharpness. Its strong cutting edge is located close to the body diameter to close the clearance angle and reduce exposure to edge chipping.

FULLCUT MILL’s advanced technology for accuracy and surface finish has been proven in many challenging applications, including slot milling, edge milling, face milling, working with material of low machinability, and high speed milling of aluminum.
