Millstar EIV5 End Mill – Amazingly Versatile, Surgically Precise

Millstar's EIV5 Series is revitalizing conventional practices for the modern machine shop. The EIV5 provides a unique combination of radial grind, variable helix, variable pitch and radius preparation for maximum versatility and surgical precision. EIV5 offers exceptional performance with high temperature alloys like titanium, making it an ideal choice for diverse machining applications including medical and aerospace.

MILL P 800 U S

The MILL P 800 U S features a torque-motor driven rotary/tilt trunnion-style table that contributes to the machine’s continuous full 5-axis simultaneous movement for smooth part surface contouring. The high-performance, high dynamic torque motor drives eliminate backlash (pitch and reverse errors), friction, wear and heat generation. This equates to increased rigidity, longer lasting accuracy and less maintenance, unlike worm or G-driven type tables that often require significant amounts of maintenance because of their inherent mechanical play.

AJ Type Inserts

The new Neutral AJ Type inserts for non-ferrous metals join this lineup. Like their right-hand counterparts, these new inserts feature ground peripheral surface and polished rake face with a mirror-like finish for sharp cutting edges. This prevents the built-up edges to the cutting edge during machining, and achieving a high-quality, glossy finish. The large rake angle and deep inclination ensure excellent chip control with both right-hand and left-hand cutter bodies.

AM Type Insert

The new AM Type insert is designed for non-ferrous metal machining, featuring a sharp cutting edge achieved through ground peripheral surface and polished rake face to a mirror-like finish. This design reduces built-up edge during machining and ensures a high-quality, glossy surface finish. The insert grade "KS05F" is a fine-grained carbide that balances wear resistance and chipping resistance, providing exceptional reliability and stable performance across a wide range of applications.
