Greenleaf Corporation’s Excelerator ballnose end mills use both ceramic and carbide inserts in the same qualified cutter bodies to increase performance, tool life and cutting action across a spectrum of materials.

 

The insert geometry prevents excess tool pressure at high metal removal rates, and its strong edges shear material without smearing, the company says. The WG-600 ceramic and G-925 carbide inserts are designed to maximize tool life when machining a variety of difficult materials, including nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys, hard steels, soft steels, stainless steels, titanium and more.

 

The cutter line is available in standard and extended lengths.
