Hollow Milling

Landis® Hollow Milling Cutters offer an easy, economical method to use a Landis Die Head to turn, groove, form, point and face.  Hollow milling cutters are similar to chasers, except they have a cutting instead of a threading profile, and can be supplied for use with virtually any type of revolving or stationary head.

• They have the same mounting configuration and come in the same physical size as chasers.
• Feed rates approximately equal to a single point tool, "multiplied by the number of hollow milling tools" can be realized. The number of cutters in a set will vary from four to eight depending upon style and model of the head. When using a Landis machine with lead screw for hollow milling, 32 pitch gearing is generally used.
• Allows one spindle to hollow mill to a given diameter, the second spindle to thread it.
• Offers the same tool efficiency and economy as a Landis chaser.  Cutters are usable for 80% of their original length and only the rake angle requires regrinding.
• Tools can be uniformly advanced or retracted relative to the workpiece centerline to determine the cutting clearance that gives best machining results.
