END MILL SERIES
FOR MILLING HIGH HARDNESS STEELS

NEW COATING TECHNOLOGY

Newly developed (AlCrSi)N multi-layer PVD coating offers higher oxidation resistance and better lubricity, together
with improved wear resistance and adhesion strength. Ideal for milling extremely hard materials up to 70 HRC.

• Improved oxidation resistance

• Higher lubricity

(Al,Cr,Si)N

• Increased wear resistance

(Al,Ti,Si)N • Improved adhesion strength

Ultra micro-grain

IDEAL FOR FINISHING
Precise machining of vertical walls is possible due to a back taper and a strong, seamless ball nose cutting edge
geometry.

BALL NOSE OPTIMISATION

Ideal centre flute geometry for finish machining.

RAKE ANGLE OPTIMISATION

Optimum geometry provides a sharp edge
together with good fracture resistance that
enables excellent surface finishes.

STRONG BACK TAPER

Reduces chatter and vibration when machining
vertical walls.

CUTTING PERFORMANCE
Machining 1.3344 (62HRC) – Comparison of wear resistance.
Greatly improved wear resistance for high-precision machining.

THE SMOOTH INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE RAKE FACE AND THE FLANK PREVENTS CHIPPING

Chipping occurs at the intersection point and can

Normal wear affect the component surface finish.

1. When the inclination angle of machined surface is large, or machining with large cutting loads such as in a corner area,
reduce the revolution and feed rate.
2. If the depth of cut is shallow, the revolution and feed rate can be increased.
3. Cutting conditions may differ considerably due to the tool overhang, depth of cut and machine tool condition.
Please use the table above as a reference starting point.

1. This tool is recommended for finish machining only.

2. Air blow or oil mist is recommended for good chip evacuation.
3. α is the inclination angle of the machined surface.
4. For profile machining such as moulds, machining conditions may differ considerably depending on the workpiece geometry,
machining methods and depth of cut. Reduce the feed rate especially when machining the corner sections of a workpiece.

1. When the inclination angle of machined surface is large, or machining with large cutting load such as corner area,
reduce the revolution and feed rate.
2. If the depth of cut is shallow, the revolution and feed rate can be increased.
3. Cutting conditions may differ consider ably due to the tool overhang, depth of cut and machine tool condition.
