New end mills feature revolutionary grinding process that enables aggressive tool paths and higher speeds
IMCO Carbide Tool is launching the next iteration of POW-R-FEED cutting tools: new POW-R-FEED M935 5-flute end mills created with a revolutionary new grinding process for amazingly higher metal removal rates and the freest cutting action in mild steels, stainless steels and titanium, according to the company.
"Our primary goal is to help our customers cut through any barriers to higher productivity," said Matt Osburn, Vice President, Technical Director for IMCO. "This new POW-R-FEED M935 line puts a lot of new possibilities on the table, especially for shops using conventional machining."
"Our mission was to develop faster, more productive end mills capable of higher speeds and extremely aggressive tool paths in the materials machine shops use most," Osburn said. "These M935 end mills prevent clogs -- so that downtime goes away -- and cut faster to maximize your output, no matter what kind of machining centers you use."
Multi-Parabolic Grinding
IMCO employs a revolutionary process called multi-parabolic grinding (MPG) to produce unique end face, flute and core geometries that make extremely aggressive tool paths possible -- even with complex movements.
"Those special geometries work together to eliminate chip pollution and crank the MRR higher at speeds you never thought possible," Technical Support Manager Steve Avers explained. "This free cutting action means you can run to the machine's upper capacity. Of course, M935 end mills also get an exclusive high-lubricity AlTiSiN coating to keep those chips flying and keep the tools running cooler. And it's especially great at plunging and slotting.
"You get faster feed rates, shorter cycle times, maximized output and greater profits, every shift, every day."
POW-R-FEED M935 end mills' unique flute and core designs also open the door for extremely aggressive tool paths, stepovers and depths. The core is super-tuff carbide with a business end that offers fine cutting edges with amazing strength plus a wiper flat end for smooth floor finishes. All edges are prepped for long, long life.
POW-R-FEED M935 end mills are an extension of IMCO's POW-R-FEED M9 workhorse end mills. IMCO officials believe the M935 end mills save users at every turn, and all tools in the POW-R-FEED line offer an exceptional price-to-performance ratio.
"This is a highly competitive industry," Osburn said. "It's our privilege to give our customers every advantage they need for higher productivity and profitability."
