High performance micro-milling cutters between 0.2 and 3 mm diameter November 2008
 
Solid carbide, centre-cutting micro-milling endmills (between 0.2 and 3 mm diameter), in two or four flutes, with or without corner radii and in ball nose style, are suitable for side, slot and copy milling applications on a wide range of materials. There is also a special series of engraving endmills and coatings including CBN and diamond.

The Fette Micro Cutters have a highly stable neck geometry that reduces the likelihood of breakage. Optimised transition points in the design effectively halves the influence of cutting forces on the tool by shifting the weakest point to an area of lower impact. Each tool has a strong core diameter giving higher levels of concentricity under cut with optimised length to diameter ratios and greater clamping security when held in contraction (heat shrink) chucks.

Tools are suitable for a wide range of materials including plastics, non-ferrous metals and difficult to machine materials up to 70 HRC. In addition to standard tools, special geometries and special applications can be developed with the customer.
