CUTTING SUGGESTIONS FOR TOOLING PLANKS
CUTTING HORIZONTALLY ON A PLANNER MILL: Head is a 10 insert,
8” in diameter. For best results use 5 inserts. Inserts are SFE-42E-10J-C5.
We have found a C2 Carbide insert does not chip as easily. RPM 2200-2400
– table feed 50-55 inches per minute. Some modifications may be needed.
SAW BLADES: A carbide-tipped, positive rake saw blade with
air slots should be used, if possible. We suggest alternate top bevel
ATB or triple chip grind TCG rpm, depending on the saw. We suggest
3,500 max rpm. Check with manufacturer on saw and blade size.
12” blade, 48 teeth
16” blade, 48 teeth
18” blade, 60 teeth
When sawing, you may need to back part away from blade to relieve
heat and binding, then proceed with cut. It may be necessary to take
more than one cut to achieve best finish.
Modern Plastics also offers DIE PLANK® DP-1051 Round Tooling Planks
for wheel models, foundry patterns or other round tooling applications.

stable tools. Applications include prototype and low-volume to high
volume foundry patterns, core boxes, match plates, gating and risering.
Other uses include metal forming, hammer forming, stretch press
dies, hemming buchs and production checking and assembly fixtures.
