Sumitomo 2200W48 Square-shoulder Face Mill 2.5in

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 2200W48 is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for high-precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. Built on the WaveMill platform, it features a 2.5-inch maximum cutting diameter and a 1-inch arbor hole, accepting six AXMT17 or AXET17 series inserts. The 0/90-degree lead angle geometry produces true square shoulders, making it well-suited for step milling, face milling, and shoulder profiling. Right-hand cutting direction and through-coolant capability support consistent chip evacuation and thermal management during extended cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this cutter on CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.

This face mill is used in production and job-shop environments where accurate 90-degree wall profiles are required. Through-coolant delivery extends insert life and maintains dimensional accuracy on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The WaveMill series cutter style (WEX) is engineered for multi-insert indexable setups where tool change efficiency and repeatable insert seating matter. It is appropriate for both roughing passes with heavier depths of cut and finishing passes requiring tight tolerances on shoulder geometry.

Key Features

• Accepts 6 inserts in AXMT 1235 or AXET 1235 compatible styles
• 0/90-degree lead angle produces true square-shoulder profiles
• Through-coolant design for active chip evacuation and insert temperature control
• Right-hand cutting direction; compatible with standard CNC mill spindles
• WaveMill WEX cutter body series with clamp and screw insert holding

Compatibility

Compatible insert styles are AXMT17 and AXET17, with complete insert compatibility listed as AXMT 1235 and AXET 1235. Designed for use with a 1-inch arbor with a 0.375-inch keyway width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine in a locked-out, zero-energy state before mounting or removing the cutter body. Verify arbor and keyway dimensions match the spindle toolholder before torquing the arbor nut. Inspect all insert pockets and seating surfaces for debris before indexing or replacing inserts. Coolant lines should be confirmed clear and properly routed before resuming cutting operations.
