Sumitomo 2200W4C Square-shoulder Face Mill 3 in Wavemill

Product Description

The SUMITOMO 2200W4C is an indexable square-shoulder face mill designed for high-precision milling operations in metal-cutting environments. Built around the WaveMill series platform, this cutter accepts 5 inserts in the AXMT17 and AXET17 styles, delivering a 90-degree lead angle geometry suited for shoulder milling and face milling in a single pass. The 3-inch cutting diameter and 1-inch arbor hole make it compatible with standard milling machine spindles and arbor setups. Through-coolant capability supports extended tool life and chip evacuation at elevated feed rates. Right-hand cutting direction is standard. Licensed machinists and CNC mill operators are the primary users of this toolholder.

This face mill is appropriate for use in job shops, production machining cells, and toolroom environments where square-shoulder profiling or facing operations are performed on steel, cast iron, or similar ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The 0/90 lead angle geometry allows full 90-degree walls to be produced in a single axial pass, reducing secondary operations. The 5-insert configuration balances cutting force distribution across the 3-inch diameter cutter body, supporting consistent surface finish at production feed rates.

Key Features

• 3-inch maximum cutting diameter for face and shoulder milling applications
• Accepts 5 inserts in AXMT17 and AXET17 styles for flexible insert selection
• 0/90-degree lead angle geometry produces true 90-degree square shoulders in a single pass
• Through-coolant design channels coolant directly to the cutting zone for chip control and insert life
• Right-hand cutting direction; compatible with standard right-hand milling machine spindles
• WaveMill series cutter body with screw and clamp insert holding for secure seating under load

Compatibility

Designed for use with AXMT17 and AXET17 series indexable inserts. The 1-inch arbor hole with 0.375-inch keyway width fits standard 1-inch arbor milling setups. Confirm spindle and arbor specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the cutter body. Verify that the arbor and spindle interface are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the cutter. Torque all insert screws and clamps according to the insert manufacturer's specification sheet supplied with the inserts, not a generic value.
