Six-Flute End Mill Cutter for Titanium, Super Alloys

CERATIZIT added to its OptiLine Series of solid-carbide end mills with the launch of a six-flute end mill. OptiLine end mills are versatile and optimized for various materials, machining strategies and part applications. The company designed and developed the new six-flute OptiLine end mill specifically for titanium and super alloys (ISO-S).

Engineered from the ground up, the OptiLine six-flute end mill features a premium substrate and advanced tool geometry, the company reported. The end mill,Äôs asymmetrical variable helix and variable index flute configuration offer enhanced stability during cutting operations and includes chip splitters designed for applications involving 2.5 x D cutting lengths. Refined cutting edges and CERATIZIT Dragonskin coating technology improve chip control and reduce adhesion for longer tool life.

"We started with the six-flute foundation, ensuring the substrate provides high toughness without sacrificing hardness," said Scott Walrath, CERATIZIT Business Development Manager, Solid Round Tools. The six-flute other key differentiator is the asymmetrical flute design because each tooth on a different helix angle delivers stability when machining a workpiece at varying angles.

To accommodate customers across U.S. industry sectors, the new six-flute end mill will be available in inch assortments. OptiLine inch-type end mills, including the new six-flute, are manufactured at CERATIZIT facility in Sacramento, CA.
