Designed for applications including spotting and drilling, side milling, chamfering, slotting, grooving, and engraving, the new Carmex Multi-Function Milling Tool (MF) delivers economy and versatility, as well as superior cutting performance. Constructed of ultra-fine carbide grade for stability and wear resistance, the Multi-Function Milling Tool features a new generation of PVD coating for higher performance.
Advantages include:
-
Performs multiple operations with one tool.
-
Eliminates tool changes.
-
Reduces programming and setup times.
-
Reduces tool inventories.
-
Ideal for machines with a limited number of tool stations.
Jim White, National Sales Manager for Carmex USA, comments, “Carmex’s years of experience in the development of the industry’s most sophisticated high precision tooling has resulted in a milling tool design that delivers high precision and improved finish over longer tool life. The 6 in 1 MF Milling Tool is another example of the way Carmex provides ‘value added’ solutions to our customers.”
Related Glossary Terms
- chamfering
chamfering
Machining a bevel on a workpiece or tool; improves a tool’s entrance into the cut.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- grooving
grooving
Machining grooves and shallow channels. Example: grooving ball-bearing raceways. Typically performed by tools that are capable of light cuts at high feed rates. Imparts high-quality finish.
- 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.
- physical vapor deposition ( PVD)
physical vapor deposition ( PVD)
Tool-coating process performed at low temperature (500° C), compared to chemical vapor deposition (1,000° C). Employs electric field to generate necessary heat for depositing coating on a tool’s surface. See CVD, chemical vapor deposition.
- slotting
slotting
Machining, normally milling, that creates slots, grooves and similar recesses in workpieces, including T-slots and dovetails.
- wear resistance
wear resistance
Ability of the tool to withstand stresses that cause it to wear during cutting; an attribute linked to alloy composition, base material, thermal conditions, type of tooling and operation and other variables.
