2L inc. (Hudson, MA) is now accepting orders for its Solid Carbide Armor Mill Cutting Tools. Armor Mills can be used for machining hard materials such as granite, armorplate, hardened steel, stone, brick and more. The Armor Mill has a shape similar to a flat endmill but allows milling of hard materials not possible using standard endmills. It has a center-cutting design, which also allows the tool to also be used for drilling.
"The introduction of this tool opens up a whole new market to the job shop industry" stated the company spokesman. "Machining intricate patterns and engraving in Granite countertops, floor tiles, and other household items is now possible without the need for the specialized artistic skill required with sandblasting or hand carving techniques. Machine shops can utilize the CAM software they already have or use simple engraving software such as the 2L Engraving Software to produce a multitude of products, which can be used in the construction industry.
"The need for cutting tools that can successfully machine difficult metals such as armor plate and hardened steel, as well as granite and stone has been rising significantly. We are pleased to offer our customers an in-stock tool selection that meets these needs", he added. These Solid Carbide Armor Mills are currently available in diameters from 0.078 in to .500 in. Armor Mills and Armor Drills, as well as the full line of Engraving Tools, Endmills and Cutting Tools can be used with CNC milling machines and other industrial machining equipment.
