Mitsubish makes two anti-vibration additions to MStar solid carbide end mill series

With the exception of a small percentage of specialist needs, MStar range end mills can be successfully used for a wide range of applications. For these latest additions, flutes are of a varied pitch and the spiral angles also differ, at 42° and 45°, to further benefit the reduction of vibration during machining. The MSSHV and MSMHV are capable of full-width slotting and incorporate a larger than standard pocket on the end face to facilitate quicker chip removal. Both are available in 6 to 20 mm diameters and are suitable for carbon, alloy and stainless steels through to difficult-to-cut materials. The MStar series contains around 40 different types in a vast range of diameters. The Miracle-based coating technology coupled with a reliable micro-grain carbide substrate used across the whole range provides outstanding tool life, is highly resistant to chipping and gives the performance needed for high production levels, says Mitsubishi.
