A true expert when it comes to fine finishing of aluminium components is entering the market – the GARANT Master Alu solid carbide HPC finishing cutter. The high-performance cutter with seven cutting edges produces top-quality surfaces and visible areas during profile milling. Its cutter geometry is optimised for low infeeds – and thanks to a special recess, the tool can elegantly avoid interference contours in order to prevent collisions. The GARANT Master Alu solid carbide HPC finishing cutter also offers added flexibility with cutting lengths of 3.2xD, 4.2xD and 5.2xD. The uncoated cutter can be resharpened multiple times and thus permits particularly economical and sustainable tooling. The specialist tool is now available in the Hoffmann Group online shop: www.hoffmann-group.com.

Aluminium is light, sturdy and soft – meaning machining requires high cutting speeds alongside absolutely reliable chip evacuation. The Hoffmann Group has developed the new GARANT Master Alu solid carbide finishing cutter specifically for these requirements. Its seven extra-sharp cutting edges are unequally spaced and ensure easy cutting and maximum efficiency. The polished front rake also guarantees top surface qualities.

A fine-grain, vibration-damping high-performance substrate, unequally spaced cutting edges and a thick core diameter provide the tool with the required smooth cutting action. Thanks to variably arranged helix angles, the cutting forces are distributed evenly over the entire cutting length. For particularly high-quality results, the Hoffmann Group recommends the GARANT Master Chuck hydraulic chuck, the GARANT HiRunER precision ER collet chuck or a heavy-duty chuck as a toolholder.

The GARANT Master product range was started by the Hoffmann Group in 2015 with the aim of providing particularly powerful and reliable tools for high-performance cutting. Since then, GARANT Master tools have opened up new performance classes. The product range now comprises a wide range of high-performance tools for applications such as drilling, milling and thread tapping in various materials, including steel, aluminium and stainless steel.
