Troy, Michigan – Two solid-carbide end mills boost metal removal rates and offer long tool life for a variety of challenging workpiece materials. The Jabro-HFM JHF181 is for high-feed milling strategies in hardened steels and nickel-based alloys, while the Jabro-Solid2 JS564 and JS565 are optimized for roughing strategies for materials such as steels, stainless steels, and titanium alloys.
The Jabro-HFM JHF181 offers the same performance as other Seco high-feed tooling solutions and increases metal removal rates by up to 30%. The JHF181 is especially effective at machining complex parts that require long tool overhangs and a mix of multiple axial and radial machining operations. It also provides up to 30% more tool life than other comparable solid-carbide end mills when processing ISO H materials. With HXT coating, the JHF181 gains a hard layer that delivers advanced thermal protection and high wear resistance.
The JHF181 is available in 2-, 4-, or 5-flute options with cutting diameters from 0.0787" (2mm) to 0.6299" (16mm) and length options ranging from 2xD to 7xD. This end mill also has through-tool coolant capability for diameters from 0.2362" (6mm) to 0.4724" (12mm).
Designed for optimized roughing strategies, the Jabro-Solid2 JS564 and JS565 offer 20% longer tool life than their predecessors due to stable tapered cores, polished NXT coatings, and other high-performance features. The JS564 and JS565 provide a relatively high radial engagement while maintaining high feeds and speeds for optimized roughing passes. The positive frontal teeth geometries on these two end mills make them successful in axial and helical interpolation operations.
Optimized chip splitter options on the end mills create small chips when using long cutting lengths, ensuring the best possible chip evacuation.
The JS564 and JS565 are available in 4- and 5-flute designs in a broad range of cutting diameters and lengths. The JS565 is also available without chip splitters. For both the JS564 and JS565, cylindrical shank diameters are available from 0.1181" (3mm) to 0.7874" (20mm), and Weldon shank diameters are available from 0.2362" (6mm) to 0.7874" (20mm).
