Engis Corp. offers new ElectroMill diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) electroplated wheels for indexable milling applications. Engis designed the ElectroMill to replace expensive, complex indexable carbide milling cutters in high volume production finishing applications that require extremely accurate flatness, close part tolerances and repeatable consistency.
With the right machine tool conditions and speed/feed parameters, ElectroMill wheels significantly increase throughput and reduce tool costs, tool changeover and down time. The ElectroMill can be successfully applied in marine, small engine, automotive, off-road, agriculture, aerospace, defense and other industries across a wide variety of components, as well as ferrous, non-ferrous and exotic materials.

- cubic boron nitride ( CBN)
cubic boron nitride ( CBN)
Crystal manufactured from boron nitride under high pressure and temperature. Used to cut hard-to-machine ferrous and nickel-base materials up to 70 HRC. Second hardest material after diamond. See superabrasive tools.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
