End Mills Feature Minimal Chatter
SGS Tool Company introduces a high-performance end mill that provides precision performance and high production rates with minimal chatter. The end mills feature variable pitch fluting geometry that provides improved chatter suppression, longer tool life, better surface finishes and high productivity rates, the company says. Manufactured with a rigid construction using certified premium micro-grain carbide, the end mills also deliver reduce harmonics and reduced radial side deflection allowing for improved side wall straightness.

Variable Rake End Mills
SGS Tool Company’s Z-Carb-AP variable rake end mill offers three stages of chatter suppression resulting in a quiet, stable milling operation. In stage one, unequal flute spacing disrupts the rhythmic pattern created by the cutting edge of common end mills. This suppresses the development of damaging harmonics.
