Advanced 5-Flute End Mills Boost Metal Removal Rates with Aggressive Tool Paths
Achieving maximum efficiency in industrial metalworking requires tools that handle aggressive workloads without failing. IMCO's POW-R-FEED M935 5-flute end mills target this exact industry need, focusing on high metal removal rates and smoother cutting action.
Machining difficult materials like titanium, stainless steel, and mild steel often leads to chip clogging and frequent tool changes. The M935 series aims to solve these common factory bottlenecks by focusing heavily on advanced tool geometry and specialized manufacturing techniques.
At the core of this tool's performance is an innovative manufacturing method called multi-parabolic grinding (MPG). This precise process shapes the end face, flute, and core geometries differently than conventional grinding methods. The resulting unique shapes help prevent chip pollution, which is a primary cause of tool clogging and unexpected machine downtime.
Because the metal chips clear out effectively, machinists can implement highly aggressive tool paths, deeper stepovers, and greater depths of cut. This free-cutting action allows both modern high-speed CNC machines and conventional machining centers to run closer to their upper operating capacities without straining the equipment.
Material construction also plays a critical role in the tool's overall longevity.
Built from an exceptionally tough carbide core, the end mills feature fine, reinforced cutting edges alongside a specialized wiper flat end designed specifically to leave smooth floor finishes on parts. All edges are prepped to extend operational life. To handle the extreme heat generated during high-speed plunging and slotting operations, the tools are finished with an exclusive, high-lubricity AlTiSiN coating. This coating keeps the cutting zone cooler and ensures chips glide away from the workpiece smoothly.
As an extension of the existing M9 series, these 5-flute end mills are positioned as an accessible alternative to typical high-performance tooling. By balancing advanced geometries with a practical price-to-performance ratio, the series provides manufacturers with a reliable option to shorten cycle times, maximize daily output, and maintain stable operational costs.
