Established in 1979, TOWA with headquarters in Kyoto Japan is the global leader in the manufacturing of Ultra-Precision Molds, and Molding Equipment for the Semiconductor Industry. Through the manufacturing of ultra-precision molds, TOWA as developed their own line of Micro-Diameter Endmills and Drills that boast high accuracy, with excellent wear resistances, sharpness, and long life. TOWA is now introducing their Endmill Product Line to the North American Market.

Endmills tipped with CBN, which is the second hardest material after diamond, are offered in sizes ranging from 6mm down to 0.1mm in diameter, with various configurations, from sharp corner, radius corner, ball, standard neck length and extended neck length. TOWA offers their CBN endmills in multi-flute configurations. By maintaining the same feed per flute, and increasing the number of flutes, cutting time is reduced, while profitability is increased. The CBN series of endmills, due to the hardness of the CBN, is an excellent choice for machining harden materials in the range of 55 to over 60 Rockwell "C".

TOWA's own proprietary coated solid carbide endmills are offered in sizes ranging from 20mm to 0.1mm diameter, and with the same configurations as the CBN series. Specialized coatings, such as "Hard Star" is designed for finishing operation for harden steels from 55 to over 60 HRC. "ion Depo" coating allows the machining of harden steels to the 50 HRC range, and is an excellent choice for machining non-ferrous materials such as Cooper and Aluminum Alloys and Graphite.
