For the Shop Person Who Has Everything…

Looking for a last-minute gift for that special shop person?

Look no further than Milpro. Just in time for Holiday gift giving, the company is offering substantial discounts on complete milling kits that give users everything they need for a thorough tryout of its Valenite Spectramill copy milling, face milling, and end milling systems.

Milpro is selling starter kits featuring three milling systems:

• The M100 end and face milling system allows face, copy, and plunge milling with the same cutter;
• M660 45-deg lead angle end and face mills use a single insert size to fit the entire cutter system;
• M680 end mills and face mills, which are designed to generate a true 90-deg square shoulder.

Kit contents for all systems include a cutter, 10 inserts, Torx wrench, and an application guide. Kits come standard with TN-450 grade inserts; other available grades are described in the application guide.

SpectraMill M100 kits feature positive geometry and radially negative insert location for reduced cutting forces and smoother cutting at higher feeds. Anti-rotation inserts can be indexed up to six times and feature large chip gullets for efficient chip evacuation. Eight kits are available starting at $150.

The M660 milling system uses radially negative insert location and negative insert geometry for a strong cutting edge with high reliability and safety. One size insert fits the whole cutter system, while differential pitch reduces tool chatter and results in improved workpiece surface finishes. Buyers can choose from 12 kits starting at $190.

SpectraMill M680 kits feature positive top form geometry inserts for lower cutting forces at higher feed rates, and a large selection of insert radii for greater application flexibility. The system can operate in both ramp and helical interpolation feed modes. Nine kits starting at starting at $150 are available.
