Horn Tangential Milling system – System 406 / 409

Whilst tangential milling systems have been on the market for some time, Horn Cutting Tools has enhanced the technology to deliver a raft of benefits over alternative systems. MTDCNC’s Joe Reynolds speaks to Dave List to find out more.

Dave says: “We have something that is truly unique here. We have an adjustable width tangential milling system. We can insert a tool and adjust the width of the system by screwing and unscrewing it. This gives the operator a range from 9.6 to 18.8mm. It saves the customer from buying special cutters and it also saves users from running across the job twice. This increases efficiency by eliminating the need to take two cuts, so you can do the grooving and slotting in one cut.” “To lock the tool in position after adjusting, we just remove the adjusting key and insert the locking screw and tighten. Customers will either need to use a tool pre-setting system, an optical checking machine or take a ghost cut on a sample component to check the height, but once this is done, you are away to go.” WATCH THE VIDEO TO LEARN MORE..
