EMUGE-FRANKEN USA, has recently announced that its EMUGE TiNox-Cut High Performance End Mills Line is now being produced at its West Boylston, MA, U.S.A. facility. These U.S.A.-made end mills, named TiNox-Cut VAR, are application-specific for machining tough materials and are guaranteed to provide unmatched metal removal rates and tool life.
The “VAR” acronym indicates the end mills are Versatile, American-Made and offer Reliable Performance. “The end mill design offers milling versatility for a range of hard-to-cut aerospace materials from stainless steel and titanium to Inconel and nickel alloys and other challenging applications,” said Craig Gosselin, Milling Products Manager, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA. “We are proud to be making TiNox-Cut VAR end mills in America, ensuring quality, reliability and consistency in every tool, made to stringent EMUGE-FRANKEN German specifications and standards.”
The TiNox-Cut VAR End Mills Line is available in four types for semi-roughing and finishing applications:
- TiNox-Cut VAR-NF end mills are high-performance roughing tools for all difficult-to-machine materials and are especially efficient in Inconel and titanium. A fine chip breaker reduces chip size and cutting forces.
- TiNox-Cut VAR-N are high-performance tools specifically designed for machining titanium and titanium alloys. They feature five flutes for high feed rates and a raised land that increases chip clearance. These end mills are also available in standard corner radius types.
- TiNox-Cut VAR Base are entry-level universal tools for roughing and finishing in the machining of stainless and acid-resistant steels.
- TiNox-Cut VAR Trochoidal delivers a high metal removal rate (even on low-powered machines), reducing stress and vibration when machining difficult materials and thin-walled components. Trochoidal milling overlaps a circular path with linear movement, converting slot milling into contour milling.
Ideal for high-impact applications, TiNox-Cut VAR End Mills are made from premium sub-micron grade solid carbide with maximized transverse rupture strength. The tools feature advanced PVD-applied coatings for heat and wear resistance, and an axial internal coolant channel design that provides maximum chip evacuation performance and chip cooling capability. TiNox-Cut VAR End Mills deliver impressive surface roughness results compared to traditional end mills. This high-performance end mills line is available in 4- and 5-flute configurations, with Trochoidal cutters also offered in 7-flute designs in metric sizes. The end mills have a maximum length of 4XD, while the Trochoidal cutters are also available in an extra-long 5XD length in metric sizes. TiNox-Cut VAR End Mills include a total of 188 SKUs and are offered in diameters ranging from 0.125″ to 1″, as well as in Trochoidal metric sizes from 6 mm to 20 mm. For exceptional machining rigidity, TiNox-Cut VAR End Mills with Weldon Shanks can be used with EMUGE-FRANKEN FPC Milling Chucks featuring an anti-pullout pin lock system.
