Z-Carb MD Logo

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.
