With CrazyMill Cool Z2, Mikron Tool has made a quantum leap in the milling of stainless steel, titanium, chromium-cobalt-alloys and superalloys.
The newly designed roughing and finishing cutter improves current results many times over and in every aspect. From now on new standards apply to the milling of grooves, pockets and walls in relation to cutting speeds, performance, tool life and surface quality. It combines HSC (high-speed cutting) and HPC (high-performance cutting), thus becoming an HSPC (high-speed performance cutting) milling tool.
Everything is new: the tungsten carbide, the geometry, the coating and especially the coolant supply through the shank which ensures perfect cooling on the cutting edges and removes chips effectively from the work area.
Three versions of cylindrical (small protection phase of 45°) and toric (corner radius) micro-milling tools are available in standard milling sizes of diameter 0.3 – 6.35 mm (.0118" - .250", fractional inches available): a short one for maximum milling depths of up to 1.5 x d, a medium one up to 3 x d and a long one up to 5 x d. The cutting length for all three is 1.5 x d.
CrazyMill Cool Z2, a solid carbide end mill cutter with through-tool cooling in the diameter range of 0.3 to 6.35 mm (.0118" - .250", fractional inches available), deserves its crazy name. Groove or pocket milling into solid material as well as contour milling are its strengths. In its double function as a roughing and finishing cutter CrazyMill Cool Z2 promises high efficiency, long tool life and a much better surface quality.
Various factors contribute to this:
-Micro-grain carbide
-Cutting geometry
-High-performance coating
