HSS Angle Cutters and HSSE Angle Face Cutters from Nachreiner

In the manufacturing of angles using end mills, so-called HSS angle cutters are frequently used. HSSE face cutters can also be employed in a similar manner. These angle cutters typically have a conical shape, where the tool diameter tapers from the cutter face toward the shank. The cutting edges of the cutter face feature a so-called clearance grind, which allows for right-angle milling at the face (in relation to the workpiece axis). The most common applications for HSS angle cutters include beveling at the rear and dovetail grooves, which is why they are sometimes also referred to as dovetail cutters. The key advantage of angle cutters is that grooves and bevels can be milled without having to reposition the workpiece. The cutting geometry is designed for universal applications, and Nachreiner HSS angle cutters are also designed as multi-flute cutters. Depending on the diameter, the number of cutting edges may vary.

Common angles for HSSE and HSS angle cutters are typically:

• 30°
• 45°
• 60°
• 70°
• 75°

In addition, Nachreiner can provide many other angle dimensions for angle cutters or face cutters. Custom-made versions are also possible. Please contact our consulting service to inquire about terms and conditions for your specific requirements. We can generally produce even small quantities cost-effectively and deliver them quickly. Typical specifications for our angle cutters include:

• HSSE design
• Manufactured according to DIN 1833 or DIN 1835-B
• Multi-flute design
• Type N

In this configuration, the HSSE face and angle cutters are suitable for machining:

• Construction steel
• Case-hardened steel
• Alloy steel
• Short-chipping non-ferrous metals
• Aluminum
• And similar materials of corresponding strength. If your requirements include processing significantly harder materials (e.g., stainless steel), we recommend considering a solid carbide (VHM) version, which we can also manufacture according to your specifications.

Face Cutters and HSS Angle Cutters in Daily Use

The tool axis is typically orthogonal (perpendicular) to the working plane during face milling. Both face and angle cutters can be used in pure face milling operations or for so-called contour milling, if the machines support this function. The surface finish of workpieces processed in this manner is particularly good because the surface hardening associated with the machining process results in smoothing effects that improve accuracy and quality. During the daily use of such high-quality tools, the wear parts will gradually wear out within normal parameters. However, many cutting tools can be used for a significantly longer time with professional regrinding. At Nachreiner, you can have your tools reconditioned cost-effectively and in an environmentally friendly manner. Our specialists will be happy to explain the benefits of our regrinding service to you. This service applies not only to Nachreiner products but also to tools from other manufacturers.
