High Performance End Mills Line



EMUGE-FRANKEN USA offers the TOP-Cut VAR line, its most popular range of multipurpose high-performance end mills. The versatile variable helix carbide tool solution, TOP-Cut VAR End Mills, is comprised of over 1,200 tools that are manufactured in the USA in EMUGE's West Boylston, MA, facility.

TOP-Cut VAR tools are suited for manufacturers who need flexibility and performance.

"Featuring unique geometry and coating, TOP-Cut VAR end mills are as effective in multiple job shop applications as they are in challenging production cutting operations," said a company spokesperson.

The TOP-Cut VAR line is available in 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-flute configurations, with or without corner radius, and ball nose, stub, standard, and long length inch sizes. In addition, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA can provide custom variations or tool modifications of TOP-Cut VAR mills.

"TOP-Cut VAR end mills feature unique flute and profile geometries optimized for long tool life and superior performance in roughing and finishing applications," said the spokesperson.

Variable helix angle flutes provide extensive vibration dampening and are precision ground with advanced edge preparation to maximize chip evacuation. A chamfer feature protects cutting edges to prevent chipping, and end mills with fully blended corner radiuses extend tool life while providing improved surface finishes. All TOP-Cut VAR end mills have an advanced ALCR PVD coating that enables enhanced performance and extended life in higher operating temperatures, and a proprietary sub-micro grain carbide provides greater abrasion resistance and durability.
