IMCO Carbide Tool is launching the POW•R•ARC ball-end cutter, the newest of IMCO's high-performance cutting tools. Designed for contouring and chamfering at the fastest possible speed and feed rates in most materials, the POW•R•ARC exceeds all expectations, even cutting smoothly in workpieces with dissimilar materials – no digs, no handwork needed. Available with 6 or 8 flutes, the versatile POW•R•ARC features advanced geometries and a next-generation coating for faster feed rates, greater lubricity, reliable chip ejection and double or greater the tool life over competitors' tools tested.

The POW•R•ARC cuts and finishes in one pass in hardened metals up to 62 HRc, aluminum, stainless steel, low carbon steel, and super alloys such as high nickel alloys, cobalt chrome and titanium. It's proven highly effective in both low-speed and high-speed machines, and it's ideal for use in 5-axis machines. Order with long necks for working in deep pockets and easier maneuvering around mold guide pins.
