OSG USA Inc., St. Charles, Illinois, announces the Expansion of the EXOCARB WXL-CR-EDS endmill series to now include inch size offerings. The new EXOCARB WXL-CR-EDS 3870 premium high-performance carbide endmills are designed for pre-hardened and hardened steels.
The endmill series features:
- ultra-fine micro-grain carbide that is said to offer the hardest, most wear-resistant carbide possible,
- high accuracy and high-precision geometry is said to all but eliminate the need for benching and rework for mold makers,
- thicker core diameters that adds significant strength and rigidity to the tools,
- and a WXL coating provides a higher coating oxidation temperature (+1,100 Celsius) and hardness (+3,100 Hv).

endmill
Milling cutter held by its shank that cuts on its periphery and, if so configured, on its free end. Takes a variety of shapes (single- and double-end, roughing, ballnose and cup-end) and sizes (stub, medium, long and extra-long). Also comes with differing numbers of flutes.
- hardness
hardness
Hardness is a measure of the resistance of a material to surface indentation or abrasion. There is no absolute scale for hardness. In order to express hardness quantitatively, each type of test has its own scale, which defines hardness. Indentation hardness obtained through static methods is measured by Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers and Knoop tests. Hardness without indentation is measured by a dynamic method, known as the Scleroscope test.
