Seven-Flute Cutters Maximize High-Efficiency Machining Benefits

Imco Carbide Tool offers its Pow-R-Path IP cutting tools designed to maximize the benefits of high-efficiency machining methods such as those which use continuous tool paths. The Pow-R-Path IP brand includes the IPT7 series and the IPC series, which uses Imco’s Chip Management System (CMS).

Both series feature seven-flute configurations for high-quality finishes. IP-series tools are made with a stronger, larger-diameter core for straighter walls in deep cuts and better strength for longer continuous cutting at the high feed rates characteristic of high-efficiency machining. The IPC7 and IPC9 series add the CMS for reliable chip evacuation in virtually any material, the company says.
