(LATROBE, PA) – With a steel and aluminum body construction that offers reduced weight, improved rigidity and vibration-dampening characteristics, the KSCM™ AluMill face-milling system from Kennametal is designed to achieve high speeds and high-productivity results, especially for high-volume aluminum milling operations.

In particular, automotive applications such as engine blocks and cylinder heads can benefit from the KSCM AluMill system’s design and performance.

            KSCM AluMill cutters are available between 2.5-inch and 12-inch (63mm and 315mm) diameters and can accommodate five different cartridge styles for rough and finish cutting in the same operation or for defined surface-finish requirements. With easy cartridge insertion and adjustment, maximum runout error is 3 mm. Reduced weight and the ability to be precision-balanced also serve to extend tool life.

“From a performance point of view, the KSCM AluMill proves to be a best-in- class platform,” says Nick Gaten, Kennametal’s Global Milling Manager.
