KTMS T-Slot Cutters - Kennametal (2024)

Designed to offer high metal-removal rates while minimizing the cost per cutting edge, Kennametal’s KTMS T-Slot cutters excel in producing precise "T" slots in machine beds with small radial depths of cut. These slot cutters are a versatile solution for T-slotting and side milling operations on cast iron and steel. The SDMT-EGG inserts engineered for KTMS cutters feature four honed cutting edges, providing exceptional durability and precision. To achieve optimal performance, it is recommended to maintain cutting feed rates between 0.10 to 0.15mm per revolution, as lower rates may lead to undesirable vibrations.

    FAQs

    What is a T slot milling cutter used for? ›

    Cobalt T-Slot Cutters are designed for milling T-slots into tougher materials where a good surface finish is required. They are used for machining hard, high strength materials up to a hardness of 40 RC. A vertical slot must be cut first so that neck and shank may enter cut.

    What type of cutter should be used for cutting a slot? ›

    An end mill is a style of milling cutter which can perform multiple applications including profiling, plunging, counter boring, slotting, contouring and shouldering. End mills cut in a rotational direction on a transversal plane moving horizontal, lateral and vertical.

    What is the main purpose of the T-slot on the mill table? ›

    T-slots are provided on most mill tables for fixturing work and workholding devices. These slots are designed to work with T-nuts and are made to either ANSI or ISO standards.

    How do T slots work? ›

    T-Slot is a framing system composed of extruded aluminum profiles which use the namesake slot as a mounting point for various hardware components. Phidgets carries three different series of T-Slot extrusions. A 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm standard.

    What is the best tool for cutting slots in metal? ›

    Your best bet for making these slots would probably be a Dremel (or similar) with a cutoff wheel. Another option would be to simply punch the slots with a sheet metal punch.

    How much depth cut is applied to finish cut in slot milling? ›

    Full slotting with an end mill is a demanding operation. The axial cutting depth should be generally reduced to around 70% of the edge length.

    Can you cut a slot with an end mill? ›

    Historically, slotting with a 4 flute end mill was a no go! This is down to multiple reasons but mainly due to swarf evacuation and vibration. In recent times, the technology of modern-day cutting tools has come on leaps and bounds, meaning it is now possible to slot with selected high performance 4 flute end mills.

    What is the difference between slot and peripheral milling? ›

    Peripheral Milling: An application in which only a percentage of the tool's cutter diameter is engaging a part. Slotting: An application in which the tool's entire cutter diameter is engaging a part.

    What is slot milling used for? ›

    Slot milling is a type of milling operation in which a rotating cutting tool is used to remove material from a workpiece by moving it in and out of a slot. This type of milling is typically used to create keyways, slots, or pockets.

    What is the purpose of a milling cutter? ›

    The purpose of a milling cutter is to remove material from a workpiece. With that said, milling cutters don't consist of a single blade. While turning operations performed using a lathe generally feature a single-bladed cutting tool, milling cutters consist of multiple blades.

    What are the two general types of milling cutters? ›

    According to the number of teeth, there are two types: coarse teeth and fine teeth. The helical coarse-tooth milling cutter has few teeth, high tooth strength and large chip space, suitable for rough machining; fine-tooth milling cutter is suitable for finishing.

    What is a slotting cutter used for? ›

    A slotting cutter is a cutting tool utilized to create slots in a workpiece.
