Double the productivity in titanium and stainless steel, longer tool life and opportunities to work on different projects with the same equipment? These are welcome features for shops trying to do more with less in order to enhance profitability. IMCO Carbide Tool Inc. introduces the enDURO line of tools.

5-flute end mills specifically intended for cutting titanium and stainless steel. Designed with advanced geometries and specialized coatings for maximum cutting efficiency and precision, enDURO end mills are made to tackle hard-to-machine metals including superalloys, titanium and stainless steel. These tools were designed to last longer, increase removal rates, decreased cycle time, increase productivity and provide exceptional finish in both high-power and lower-power machining centers. Testing of the enDURO M525s produced up to 570 percent longer tool life and a 40 percent decrease in cycle time. Runs with heat-treated 15-5 stainless and titanium resulted in no warping, no scrap and extended tool life even while running at higher feed rates and speeds.

With design features to meet the needs of many applications, the 5-flute enDURO end mills are available in a variety of end designs, shank designs and lengths.

Related Glossary Terms

centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
feed
feed
Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.
shank
shank
Main body of a tool; the portion of a drill or similar end-held tool that fits into a collet, chuck or similar mounting device.
superalloys
superalloys
Tough, difficult-to-machine alloys; includes Hastelloy, Inconel and Monel. Many are nickel-base metals.
