Tool Life Champions

DMSL/DMSW high-feed milling system

DMSL/DMSW series milling cutters are engineered for exceptionally long tool life, a result of their innovative design and high-quality insert technology. The double-sided inserts offer four (LNMU) or six (WNMU) cutting edges, substantially increasing tool efficiency and longevity.

Features:

Innovative Cutting Edges: The arc-shaped cutting edge minimizes cutting forces, enabling high-efficiency machining with maximum feed rates of up to 3.5 mm/tooth.

Robust Materials: The carbide substrate and specialized coating provide high wear resistance and thermal crack resistance, extending tool life even in demanding applications.

Efficient Force Distribution: The small lead angle (15°) directs the majority of the cutting force in the axial direction, minimizing radial forces and optimizing stability in long overhang applications.

The combination of high productivity and long tool life makes these milling cutters ideal for roughing operations in a variety of workpiece materials, including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Even at high feed rates, excellent surface finishes are maintained, making these cutters a reliable choice for industrial applications.

EPMP solid carbide milling cutter for steel machining

The EPMP high-performance end mills are characterized by their impressive tool life, which is convincing even when machining demanding workpiece materials. These end mills offer a 60% longer tool life compared to conventional tools, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.

The exceptional performance of EPMP end mills is based on several innovative features:

Power-Mill Coating: This special coating, in combination with a newly developed cemented carbide substrate, ensures high wear resistance and contributes significantly to the long tool life.

Optimized flute geometry: It guarantees safe chip removal and reduces wear on the cutting edges.

Anti-vibration design: Vibration is minimized by differential pitch and special helix angles of the cutting edges, which extends the tool life.

Reinforced cutting edge: A double clearance angle strengthens the cutting edge, thus increasing the fracture resistance and tool life.

These properties make EPMP end mills particularly suitable for machining exotic materials that place high demands on tool quality and durability. The extended tool life minimizes downtime and maximizes the efficiency of manufacturing processes.

Application examples have shown that EPMP end mills can achieve an efficiency increase of up to 300% compared to competitor products, while simultaneously reducing vibration. This underlines the outstanding performance and excellent durability of the EPMP high-performance end mills.
