TC burrs - PLAST cut

Tungsten carbide burrs with the PLAST cut are particularly suitable for use on less hard glass and carbon-fibre-reinforced duroplastics (GRP and CRP with ≤ 40 % fibre content) and fibre-reinforced thermoplastics.

The cut (similar to PCD milling) minimizes delamination and fraying.

Advantages:

Particularly suitable for GRP and CRP with ≤ 40 % fibre content.
Minimizes delamination and fraying due to the special cut that is similar to PCD mills.
Particularly suitable for use on machines and on robots.
Very low cutting force.
High feed rates.
Reduced wear on the tool drive due to impact-free work without chatter marks, thanks to the high concentricity.

Materials that can be worked:

Plastics
Fibre-reinforced plastics (GRP/CRP) with a fibre content ≤ 40 %
Thermoplastics

Applications:

Trimming
Contour milling
Deburring
Milling grooves and pockets (with FSTS)
Drilling blind holes (with FSTS)
Drilling with minimal burr formation (with STS)
Milling out
Cutting out holes

Matching tool drives:

Flexible shaft drive
Straight grinder
Robot
Machine tools

Recommendations for use:

The version with a drill cut (BS) is particularly suitable for machine and robot applications, while the version with a centre drill (ZBS) is used for manual applications. It allows secure drilling on almost all surface conditions.
The versions with an end cut (two teeth, STS) and flat end cut (two teeth, FSTS) are suitable only for machine and robot applications.
Select a burr diameter greater than the thickness of the material to be machined, to avoid impacts and chattering with the risk of damaging or breaking the tool.
Increase the rotational speed if the tool tends to chatter.
If necessary, reduce the rotational speed and contact pressure if melting occurs.
If possible, use the tools on powerful drives with elastically mounted spindles to avoid vibration.
For the cost-effective use of burrs, work with higher rotational/cutting speeds.
Power recommendation for tool drives:
- Shank diameter of 3 mm: 75 to 300 watts
- Shank diameter of 6 mm: from 300 watts
Please observe the rotational speed recommendations.
