Double the productivity in titanium and stainless steel, longer tool life and opportunities to work on different projects with the same equipment? These are welcome features for shops trying to do more with less in order to enhance profitability. IMCO Carbide Tool Inc. (Perrysburg, OH) is pleased to introduce the enDURO® line of tools. 5-flute end mills specifically intended for cutting titanium and stainless steel.
Designed with advanced geometries and specialized coatings for maximum cutting efficiency and precision, enDURO end mills are made to tackle hard-to-machine metals including superalloys, titanium and stainless steel. These tools were designed to last longer, increase removal rates, decreased cycle time, increase productivity and provide exceptional finish in both high-power and lower-power machining centers.
Testing of the enDURO M525s produced up to 570 percent longer tool life and a 40 percent decrease in cycle time. Runs with heat-treated 15-5 stainless and titanium resulted in no warping, no scrap and extended tool life even while running at higher feed rates and speeds.
“With exceptional cutting performance and dramatically improved tool life, the enDURO end mill technology is producing impressive results,” remarks Perry Osburn, president and CEO of IMCO Carbide Tool Inc. “These tools, coupled with high-efficiency machining techniques, can result in dramatic improvements for any shop.”
With design features to meet the needs of many applications, the 5-flute enDURO end mills are available in a variety of end designs, shank designs and lengths. (For complete specifications speak with an IMCO sales professional.)
