The field of application for this tools can be found
in all high-end thermoplastic components with
particular surface requirements, e. g. for optical,
medical or advertising use.
The task is outline or flange milling in thermoplastic
resins like Acryl or Plexiglas® achieving
the best possible transparent surface.
Usually, monocrystalline diamonds or even
natural diamonds are used for ultimate surface
finishing. But being very expensive and limited
in their size, those diamonds cannot be used
for typical single-flute endmills.
The solution is LMT Belin’s SAPHIR endmill.
Being assembled with a special PCD that allows
a cutting edge design similar to those in natural
diamond, this tool is the first-choice endmill for
super-finish.
