End Mills Improve Chamfering Performance
Extending the application capabilities of its tangential Sumomill inserts, Iscar offers end mills to perform chamfering, countersinking and face milling operations.
The end mills’ Sumo Tec coating treatment is said to produce a smoother, more lubricious surface, with fewer thermal stresses and stress factors compared to an untreated plain PVD or CVD coating. As a result, the inserts can cut at cooler temperatures with less friction and with reduced risk of rupture.
