Helical Solutions LLC offers the HEV-7 variable-pitch, high-performance solid-carbide endmill. The HEV-7 is built with the company's X47 carbide substrate, has a 7-flute variable pitch and includes the new Aplus tool coating.
The noncenter cutting design accommodates ramping operations and the improved core design brings greater strength. The HEV-7 is for use in steels, stainless steels, high-temperature alloys and titanium and is favoured in high-efficiency toolpaths.

- stainless steels
stainless steels
Stainless steels possess high strength, heat resistance, excellent workability and erosion resistance. Four general classes have been developed to cover a range of mechanical and physical properties for particular applications. The four classes are: the austenitic types of the chromium-nickel-manganese 200 series and the chromium-nickel 300 series; the martensitic types of the chromium, hardenable 400 series; the chromium, nonhardenable 400-series ferritic types; and the precipitation-hardening type of chromium-nickel alloys with additional elements that are hardenable by solution treating and aging.
