VariMill Chip Splitter

This high-performance end mill is designed with non-overlapping chip splitters along the flute cutting edges. The result is more efficient MRR, while maintaining the ability to make finishing passes. The unequally spaced design feature allows each sequential cutting edge to remove any remaining material left by the chip splitter of the previous flute. The tool's innovative design reduces breakage and makes it versatile enough for both roughing and finishing passes.
