Product Description
[Specifications]
·Phoenix PMX interchangeable head
·Blade shape that utilizes the design, achievements, and know-how of solid end mills
·End face + taper = two sides high speed ensures high rigidity and accuracy

Product features and specifications
Basic specifications and features of the product
Against solid tools
- Cost merit in large diameter machining.
- Time reduction by replacing only the head.
Anti-indexable tool
- Improved productivity due to the merit of the number of blades.
- Flexibility of degree of the cutting edge.
- Reduction of initial cost and running cost.
- For narrow pocket processing and groove machining
By using coolant and air from the inside, it prevents cutting chips from getting caught. Improves cutting chip discharge.
- For stainless steel and heat resistant alloys
Achieves longer lifespan with stainless steel and heat resistant alloys by improving cooling performance.
Performance/test information
[PXDR-P]Achieves stable machining even with L/D = 7, which is easy to chatter
PXDR-P has less chatter than other manufacturers' products, and a good machined surface was obtained even in the corners.

Usage method and usage examples
Usage method
"Tightening procedure"
(1) Cleaning
Remove dust and dirt from the head and shank fastening
(2) Temporary tightening
Hand tightening
(3) Final tightening
Tighten with a dedicated wrench
(4) Confirmation
Confirm that there are no gaps
Recommended cutting conditions
Recommended cutting condition table
PXDR-P L/D≦5
PXDR-N L/D≦5
Precautions for cutting conditions
- (1) Use machines and holders that are rigid and highly accurate.
- (2) Adjust the rotational speed and feed speed according to the usage conditions such as cutting depth and mechanical rigidity.
- (3) If the amount of protrusion is long, chattering is likely to occur, so adjust the rotational speed, feed speed, and cutting depth.
- (4) The cutting conditions should be selected in consideration of the protrusion length of the shank holder (PXMZ) from the end face of the holder plus the overall length of the head (LF).

Cautions/prohibitions
Usage Precautions- Please use the PXM dedicated spanner when attaching the head (commercially available spanners cannot be used).
- Tighten until the end faces of the head and shank holder are attached. Please make sure there are no gaps.
- If you degrease the fastening part, the tightening will become stiff and the end face may not be attached. Please do not degrease.
- Insert the spanner according to the notch in the head, and slowly rotate it in the direction of rotation.
