IMCO End Mills Enable Aggressive Cutting Parameters
Westec 2023: M936 Pow-R-Feed end mills enables users to make toolpath moves without slowing down.
IMCO Carbide Tool’s new M936 Pow-R-Feed end mills are designed to provide faster part cycles and milling speeds in steels, stainless steels and titanium machined on three-axis to five-axis CNCs, regardless of horsepower. The company displays the end mills in booth 2245 at Westec 2023.
The tools enables users to make toolpath moves without slowing down, as well as helical enter, ramp, slot and peripheral mill at rapid feed rates. Its specialized flute and core geometries and tough carbide core enable aggressive cutting parameters, while a proprietary end face enables aggressive ramping and helical entry parameters. According to the company, the end mill’s flute design and modern coating make it virtually impossible to clog.
