Carmex Precision Tools has introduced two newly designed end mills to the North American market. Designed for specialty applications, both feature rugged carbide substrates and multi-layered coatings for improved cutting action and longer too life.
The Solid Carbide Radius Fillet End Mills are configured for different radius filleting. Available with two, three and four flutes, they also feature a cylindrical shank DIN 6535 HA.
The CR-Supercut High Feed End Mills are designed for high feed rates with shallow cutting depths for a wide range of materials up to 56 HRC. The CR- Supercut line is ideal for High Performance Cutting (HPC) in a variety of hard-to- machine materials.
Jim White, National Sales Manager for Carmex USA, comments, “These latest additions to our expanding line of end mills were introduced at EMO and were exceptionally well received by customers. Both are intended for specialty applications and, as such, have been constructed for high performance and long life.
“As manufacturers move toward more rugged and dense materials for critical applications, Carmex is committed to providing the tooling they will need to stay competitive.”
