Multi-flute square and radius type carbide end mills for high-hardness steels

Conventionally, high-speed processing machines are used to achieve high-efficiency and high-precision in the finishing process. However, reduction of processing time in the finish processing is limited, making the shortening of roughing process indispensable for reducing the overall cost of die and mold applications. In order to maximize the performance of high-speed processing machines, it is necessary to keep the load of the tools used constant, suppress load fluctuations, and maximize the feed rate and cutting depth. WorkNC's high-speed machining toolpath utilizes the length of cut of the end mill and distributes the load over the entire length of cut, reducing the amount of cutting in the axial direction of the end mill and making it more efficient than roughing by radial cutting, which also prolongs tool life. OSG's carbide end mill series for high-hardness steels adopts the “DUROREY” coating with superior heat resistance and high toughness optimized for high-hardness steel with high chipping resistance even for work materials exceeding 60 HRC. Furthermore, with an optimized cutting edge specification, stable machining of high-hardness steels can be achieved.
