Solid Carbide High Performance Roughing End Mills

A range of high performance roughing end mills for rapid stock removal, with new geometry designed for very low cutting forces. These new roughers are for general engineering applications such as side cutting, slotting and ramping – and can be used on machines with medium to low rigidity.

The main features of these high performance roughing end mills include:

  • conventional

    Conventional Geometry

    Innovative new geometries designed in conjunction with our international development partners who have decades of design and development experience in the carbide tooling industry. The benefit is a range of state-of-the-art carbide cutting tools with superior performance.

  • Chamfer and dubbing features to reinforce cutting tool corners for extended tool life and reduced cutting tool forces at higher speeds.
  • Specially adapted Oerlikon Balzers coating which further improves operational performance and tool life.
  • improved

    Improved Geometry with Chamfer and Dubbing

    Sub-micron carbide grade of European origin.

  • Shank tolerances to h6.
  • The high performance rougher ranges consist of regular length, coarse and fine pitch, knuckle and flat crest forms, most with Balzers coating (only product group 03C is uncoated, suitable for aluminium machining applications).
  • Designed to works standard over the 6mm to 20mm diameter range.

In combination, these features result in an extremely high performance carbide cutting tool range, which competes favourably with current global state-of-the-art solid carbide cutting tool designs. In some tested applications these new solid carbide end mills have outperformed competitive products by up to four times. High stock removal rates at high speeds and feeds, excellent finish quality and extended tool life are the major benefits of these new designs, in very hard work materials with complex applications.
