Sandvik Coromant Expands CoroMill 490 Family to Steel and Cast Iron Milling
Fair Lawn, New Jersey, July 30, 2008 – Sandvik Coromant has announced an expansion to its CoroMill 490 family of milling tools. Perfect for face and shoulder milling, the new additions are designed for applications in steel and cast iron.
The CoroMill 490 is a versatile tool, capable of offering high performance for contouring, edging and slot, shoulder and face milling. The tool’s design is compatible with the latest insert geometries and grades developed by Sandvik Coromant.
As the first mill with a true 90-degree square shoulder, the CoroMill 490 can produce a finished piece with a single pass, typically reducing machining costs by up to 25%. Additionally, the tool’s flexibility allows it to replace multiple cutting tools, simplifying production and increasing efficiency.
The new additions to the CoroMill 490 family ensure that its higher cutting data and increased productivity are available for a much broader array of applications.

Sandvik Coromant Co.
Release date: September 8, 2008
Fair Lawn, New Jersey, September 8, 2008 – Sandvik Coromant has unveiled the CoroMill 345, a flexible tool that provides high performance face cutting with small depths of cut in steel and stainless steel. Available in early 2009, the CoroMill 345 offers high performance across a spectrum of applications ranging from small-batch, mixed machining to high-volume dedicated production lines.
As part of a new generation of 45-degree face mills, the CoroMill 345 is equipped with double-sided inserts that provide four edges on each side. The new tool offers full cutting edge backing and insert-seat stability through shims with strategic support islands that match insert rake-faces. The CoroMill 345′s uncompromised performance makes it suitable for a variety of operations, from roughing to mirror-finishing with wiper inserts.
By featuring a more positive axial inclination at small depths of cut, the CoroMill 345 offers a soft cutting action with low axial pressure on the workpiece. As the depth of cut becomes larger, a more upright part of the cutting edge is engaged, giving the insert a more substantial structure for high security.
The CoroMill 345 will optimize processes in a variety of machine tools, ranging from small, low-powered machines to large, innovative multi-task machining centers. The tool will be released in early 2009 in diameters from 1.57″ to 9.84″. Attendees of IMTS 2008 can receive a first look at the CoroMill 345 in Sandvik Coromant’s booth, located at F-2000.

GC4225 – the next generation of high-performing first choice insert for general steel turning
GC4225 from Sandvik Coromant represents the next generation of P25 grades to enhance machining performance in the general steel turning area.
Over the past few years, Sandvik Coromant has carried out extensive R&D to establish the new P25 grade, GC4225, which is the next insert generation to make the general steel-turning area even broader, more productive and more reliable.
A multi-talented insert grade for steel turning
In general steel turning everything varies. The steel material varies from un-alloyed to high-alloyed bar-material through to various forgings and castings. The type of operation varies from rough to finish turning with conditions ranging from good to difficult.
GC4225 has an improved capacity to adapt to variations in workpiece material and operational demands towards the tougher end of applications, thus providing more versatility. The new black and yellow grade provides a new potential for increasing productivity through higher cutting data, backed up by improved reliability.
