Rainford promotes stainless machining with new brochure

The new range of Louis Belet cutting tools from Rainford Precision is compiled into a series of brochures based on material types first, with application a secondary consideration. Stainless steel is available in numerous grades and Louis Belet has developed its Stainless Steel Expert Tools brochure based on these parameters.

The new 12 page brochure contains the latest line of drills, end mills, engraving tools, thread mills, circular saws and customised tools that are suited to the differing stainless characteristics.

The brochure includes the latest line of Louis Belet 370 Expert Series Drills, available from 0.5mm to 1.5mm in 0.01mm increments and up to 3mm diameter in 0.05mm increments. Manufactured from Louis Belet's MG10 sub-micron grade carbide with the company's Nemo coating, the 135° point angle drills have been developed and tested to enhance performance when drilling small holes in stainless steel.

Next to the Expert Drills is the four flute line of variable helix and pitch end mills. With a geometry for plunge and side cutting, the new range is available with the Nemo coating, or as a non-coated cutter. The specialised stainless steel end mills are available from 1mm to 16mm diameter with a chamfered edge and Louis Belet's micro grain carbide grade to extend tool life and performance.

Rainford says the staggered tooth slitting saws have been developed to ensure the best possible geometry and grade combination for processing all stainless steels. Offered in diameters from 15 to 80mm with 12 to 36 teeth, the carbide saws have an alternating tooth geometry that optimises the cutting action.
