SGS Tool Company, the industry leader in unique high performance tool design, offers the solution to problematic chatter associated with aggressive milling. Z-Carb solid carbide end mills are the industry's only end mills with patented unequal helix geometry. In fact, Z-Carb testing reveals that increases in axial depth of cut to 275% have been realized without chatter.
Chatter reduction, however, is just one of the many benefits of the Z-Carb's patented design. The patented Z-Carb family of end mills also improves surface finish and material removal rates up to 10 times while significantly reducing noise and harmful machine vibration. Z-Carb end mills improve productivity up to 30 times and can achieve a 100% increase in radial width of cut over conventional 4-flute end mills. Increases in feed up to 5 times and speeds up to 50% have also been recorded.
Ideal for use on low carbon steels, tool steels, cast iron, stainless steels and titanium, all Z-Carb end mills come coated with SGS' exclusive Ti-NAMITE-A (AlTiN) coating for increased tool life.
Based on the original Z-Carb, the new Z-Carb-HTA from SGS Tool Company features patented geometric enhancements for superior performance in High Temperature Alloys, including Inconel, Waspaloy, Hastelloy, Rene, A-286, Stellite, IN-738, MAR-M200, Udimet 500, and FSX-414. The entire Z-Carb" family of end mills is available in square, ball and corner radius.
