Machinery & Equipment Manufacturing

The flat machining of bi-metal surfaces or milling applications involving an interrupted cut can present challenges to PCD or carbide milling cutters. Inserts may chip during the milling process, resulting in high machining costs & elevated levels of sub-standard or rejected parts. ElectroMill® produces high quality, flat milled surfaces, even if an interrupted cut is present or multiple materials are to be machined simultaneously. It effectively replaces expensive, complex cutters in high volume applications like high strength alloys, stainless steel, ceramics, cast iron, fiberglass pipe, composites and aluminum. Benefits include high stock removal rates, stress-free cutting action, extended tool life, industry standard adapter mountings and milling cutting dimensions.
