STABLE
MOLD & DIE
MACHINING
Z-Carb MD | Series ZD1
The patented unequal high helix of the Z-Carb MD reduces damaging harmonics by changing the angle at which each cutting edge enters and exits the material. Combined with unequal flute spacing and a heavy core, this end mill effortlessly machines hardened steels with incredible tool life.
Features
Rake
- The original Z-Carb design with a negative rake, heavy core, and higher helix for strength and shearing of hard mold & die materials.
Corner
- Enhanced corner geometry with tight tolerance corner radii.
Fluting
- Unequal flute spacing helps to disrupt the rhythmic pattern created by the cutting edge helping to suppress damaging harmonics.
Coatings
- The structural design of Ti-Namite-X is adapted to meet a diverse range of applications; everything from high- and low-alloy steels to hardened materials (up to 65 HRC core hardness). Ti-Namite-X is suitable for operations that require high cutting speeds, high temperatures at the cutting edge, and high metal removal rates.
