Ingersoll Cutting Tools 2912588 High-feed Face Mill

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 2912588 is an indexable high-feed face mill designed for aggressive material removal in demanding machining environments. Built around the DG6P cutter style, it accepts five 1307-series inserts secured by screw-clamping for repeatable edge positioning. The cutting diameter ranges from 2.218 to 3 inches with a maximum depth of cut of 0.0787 inches per pass. A 1-inch arbor hole provides solid spindle interface, and through-coolant capability keeps the cutting zone clear and helps extend insert life during high-feed operations. This tool is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals on CNC milling centers.

The 2912588 is suited for a wide range of milling applications including shouldering, ramping, helical interpolation, and plunging. Its universal primary workpiece material classification means it can be applied across steel, stainless, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials depending on insert grade selection. With a right-hand cutting direction and five-flute configuration, it is at home in both production and job-shop environments where high-feed strategies are used to reduce cycle time while controlling radial forces on the spindle.

Key Features

• Cutting diameter range: 2.218 to 3 inches for flexible depth and stepover setup
• Maximum depth of cut: 0.0787 inches, optimized for high-feed, low-engagement passes
• Accepts five 1307-series inserts with screw-clamping for secure, repeatable seating
• Through-coolant design directs fluid directly to the cutting edge
• Supports shouldering, ramping, helical interpolation, and plunging operations
• Maximum ramping angle of 0.40 degrees for controlled entry cuts

Compatibility

Designed to accept five 1307-series inserts and mount to a 1-inch arbor. Compatible insert size code is 1307; consult INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS insert grade charts to match insert selection to workpiece material and cutting conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter body. Confirm arbor fit and face contact before torquing the retention hardware, and verify insert seating and screw torque per the toolholder manufacturer's specification card. Engage through-coolant supply before beginning the cut to prevent thermal shock to the inserts. Follow the machine tool builder's guidelines for maximum spindle speed and feed per tooth when programming high-feed toolpaths.
