i-Xmill, Carbide Insert End Mills

- Optimal for machining deep cavities or around obstacles e.g. fixtures
- Favorable solution for larger diameters beyond solid carbide
- High accuracy for semi and fine finishing operations
- Various geometries and coating options available covering most materials
- Wide range of holders in steel and carbide

▌ Product Features

Highest Insert Thickness
- Stability against cracks and bending moment
- Allows for more freedom in design and higher helix angles

Uneven Insert Diameters
- Reduces risk of collision using the same shank but with slightly increased cutting diameter (e.g. 13mm instead of regular 12mm)
- Great solution for 3 axis machining of straight walls

Wide Variety of Coatings
- Covering General Purpose to High Hardened Steel applications
- Diamond coating for Graphite and Aluminum machining

Accuracy by Clamping Screw
- Restore run-out accuracy by exchanging worn out screw with a new clamping screw
- Allows for average changeover accuracy of ±20µm

▌ Geometry

Helical Gash Geometries
- Provides softer cutting to minimize milling torque while maximizing tool life
- Ball Radius tolerance of ±10µm

Full Radius Type Geometries
- Allows for machining undercuts
- 220° enables pulling cut with higher Ap

Corner Radius Geometries
- Back Taper avoids surface irritations using Z-constant machining
- Straight cutting edge section after radius enables for higher surface quality and/or higher Ap step-overs (with reduced Ae values)
- Corner radius tolerance ±15µm

High Feed Insert Geometry
- Highest metal removal rates for roughing through usage of the chip thinning effect
- Forces directed towards spindle allowing for longer stick-out lengths
- Ideal for 3 axis machining of inclined wall cavities, cutting closer to net workpiece shape

▌ Holders

Carbide Holders
- Repairable in case of collision
- Lower deflection than Steel holder
- Preferred shank for use with Shrink fit holders

Steel Holders
- Economic solution for short reach applications
- Taper neck shape for less deflection on 5 axis machines
