Balanced single-edged cutter 6x6x60/22

AKIS balanced single-edge cutter for plastic materials (6x6x60/22)

Designed specifically to meet the high demands of milling plastic materials, this AKIS balanced single-edge cutter represents the ideal solution for obtaining clean cuts, impeccable finishes and excellent chip evacuation.

Its optimized geometry helps prevent overheating and melting of the material during high-speed machining.

Technical specifications and dimensions

As illustrated in the technical diagram, the acronym 6x6x60/22 defines the fundamental dimensions of the tool:

• D1 (cutting diameter): 6 mm
• D (shaft/attachment diameter): 6 mm
• L (total length): 60 mm
• L1 (useful cutting length): 22 mm

Main features and advantages

• Single-cutting geometry (single helix): the presence of a single cutting edge guarantees a wide helix throat. This design is particularly suitable for processing plastics, because it allows rapid and fluid chip evacuation, reducing the risk of material sticking and overheating.
  
  
• Balanced construction: compared to standard cutters, this balanced version is designed to minimize vibrations during the very high speed rotations typical of CNC spindles. The result is a quieter cut, greater protection of the electrospindle and a cleaner surface finish.
  
  
• Optimized cutting edge profile: The extremely sharp cutting edge is calibrated to penetrate polymeric materials with minimal effort, promoting precise contours and sharp edges with minimal burrs.
  
  
• Solid design: the body of the cutter features a smooth transition between the cutting zone and the shank, offering structural strength and good resistance to bending even during sustained feeds.

Ideal applications

This cutter is particularly suitable for use on pantographs and CNC machining centers, especially in the processing of:

• Acrylic / plexiglass (PMMA): ideal for transparent cuts and glossy finishes.
• Polycarbonate (PC) and PETG.
• PVC such as forex and multilayer materials.
• Technical plastic materials: nylon, Teflon, Delrin (POM).

Thanks to its specific configuration, the balanced single-edge cutter AKIS 6x6x60/22 is an effective choice for those looking for precision, finishing quality and reliability in the milling of plastic materials.
