What is Onsrud cutters approach to high speed machining of aluminum?
Onsrud cutter is no stranger to the machining of aluminum. They have been providing router tooling to the aircraft and related industries for over 75 years. The biggest change in recent years has been the type of CNC machining centers found in the major aluminum fabrication shops throughout the world. With demands on increased productivity, the spindle speeds of these machines has steadly been increased to 8,000 rpm’s and above and the shearing action of router type tooling provided by Onsrud cutter is more appropriate than the bludgeoning process afforded by endmills. The use of router tools negates the need for climb cutting and finish passes relative to endmills and places the aluminum fabricator into the realm of conventional cutting with better productivity and finish. Because of Onsrud cutter’s long history of success in high spindle speed environments, there is no better place to go for solid carbide tooling designed for such use.
