Customer Case: Single Flute End Mills or 3F Carbide End Mills

Customer’s Demand: straight down to slot drill in dry cutting condition, the end mills should be ware-resistant.

Workpiece material: Aluminum profile

Cutting tools used: Normal HSSCo/ Carbide 1F end mills (freezing bits)

Problem: the tools wear out quickly

Ask: Could you please design 3F end mills to work for slotting?

Solution:

  1. 3F Carbide End Mills with Tac coating: with pretty good wear resistance, but the feed could not be as fast as working for thick workpiece material when working. Because the aluminum profile is thin, may not be able to withstand such a large cutting force. Need to reduce feed.
  2. 1F Carbide End Mills with Tac coating: with sharp flute, the feed can be very fast, and Tac Coating can help to reduce wear and increase the life of the freezing bits.

Finally, which solution did the customer choose? And what is the testing result? If you would like to know, contact us freely!
