1 V555 & V556 High Feed Milling System Save time and reduce production costs with high productivity milling cutters. High feed-rate machining, combined with a low axial engagement, reduces production times while utilizing existing machinery. The V556 High Feed Milling Cutter, with inserts featuring 5 cutting edges, is specifically designed to cover a range of diameters from 1.25 to 6.00 inches. In addition to the economic benefit of 5 cutting edges, the V556 milling cutter offers the advantage of being multi-functional. Not only is it a rough and finish face mill, but it is also capable of plunging, ramping and helical interpolation. With the V556 High Feed Milling System, Valenite offers productive tool solutions in 1.25 to 6 inch diameters, which allows a feed of approximately 0.08 ipt. Key Features & Competitive Advantages V556 V555 Cost Effective 5 cutting edges competitively priced with square and triangle inserts. 5 cutting edges, competitively priced with 4-edge square inserts of equivalent size, with minimal change in DOC capability. Strength Durability The cutting stresses are directed to the axis of the milling cutter. The pentagonal shape insert provides larger bearing surfaces, closer to the surface being machined, directly opposing the forces generated by the cut. Robust insert (.215 thick) has 30% more carbide than equivalent size squares for longer tool life and increased protection of the insert seat and cutter body.

Robust insert (.215 thick) has 30% more carbide than equivalent size squares for longer tool life and increased protection of the insert seat and cutter body. Performance Designed for high-speed facing operations in roughing and finishing. Can reduce machining time by increasing metal removal rates by 320 to 60%. DOC capability of up to 0.08 inch. Positive, free cutting inserts are available in a variety of geometries and ValPro grades to cover all of your applications, over the range of part materials. Flexibility Can also be used for ramping, interpolation and plunging operations with large tool overhangs. The high positive axial cutting is suitable for low power machines. Cutter bodies are contoured to take full advantage of Valenite s optional coolant screws. G2
