Sandvik Coromant is launching a new series of end mills for use in multiple materials. This new range is designed for high performance and secure machining in a variety of applications, component sizes, shapes and materials, reducing the requirement to change tools for every different operation.
The end mills support all applications from roughing to finishing and profiling operations. Their features include reinforcement of the end teeth to avoid premature chipping, cylindrical land width and flat relief for maximum stability. The new coating on the insert grade GC1630 is extremely resistant to wear and is especially suitable for roughing and finishing dry or wet.
