Sumitomo Electric Carbide Inc.'s new WAX Wave Mill Series reduces the costs and time typically associated with rough milling to finishing of non-ferrous materials. Featuring a high-speed and efficient design, WAX Series cutters are in an elite class of endmills. Sumitomo has expanded its milling lineup with the addition of this series.

The WAX Series also boasts a safety-oriented design that prevents tool failure by inhibiting the insert dislodgement that can result from centrifugal force. The diamond-like carbon coating (DLC) applied to WAX inserts promotes adhesion resistance. With these enhancements, the WAX Series offers exceptional ramping and helical milling of aluminum alloys.
