HIGH PERFORMANCE
PREMIUM QUALITY AMERICAN-MADE CUTTING TOOLS
The VI-PRO is a High Performance, carbide end mill, that incorporates the ultimate in variable index geometry. Our flute configuration produces a harmonics shift, resulting in minimal chatter and an exceptional finish.
Post polished ALCRO-MAX coating covers a wide range of materials Made in the USA from premium micrograin carbide Used in all slotting, roughing, profiling and finishing applications High Performance, chatter free machining provides versatility in use for all ferrous materials Designed for use in Alloy Steels, Inconel, Cast Iron, Titanium, Stainless Steel, High Temp and all other exotic materials up to 50HRc Enables higher SFM and heavier chip loads Eccentric Relief on the cutting edge provides enhanced edge strength Available in 4, 5 & 6 Flute - Stub, Regular, Long & Extra Long Lengths Available in Square End, Ball Nose and various Corner Radius sizes Recommended for slotting up to 1 x Diameter
Advantages of Eccentric Relief vs Primary/Secondary Relief High-Performance VI-PRO carbide end mill utilizes an Eccentric Relief on the cutting edge that provides enhanced edge strength and a smoother cutting action.
CUTTING EDGE PROFILE
ECCENTRIC RELIEF Edge has full support permitting higher feed rates and progressive wear is countered by increased ute thickness.
PRIMARY/SECONDARY RELIEF Edge is relatively weak and does not support radial forces, has minimal contact area for wear.
Why use VI-PRO
Corner Radius tools?
The tools improve productivity and reduce costs. A sharp corner of an end mill is its weakest point. The corner radius design strengthens the end mill by reducing chipping and providing longer tool life. Extensive offering of Corner Radius tools: Stub, Regular, Long and Extra Long Lengths, with radius starting at 0.008 up to 0.250. Benefits of Post polishing ALCRO-MAX by nature of the coating process leaves tiny “droplets” of the coating on the surface of the tool. Proven results have shown that the removal of these droplets provide a smoother tool surface which results in a better cut. Perhaps the most important benefit, is that the tool is able to run at faster feed rates due to the smoothness of the flute area. This results in better chip evacuation and cooler temperatures resulting in longer tool life.
