Dormer End Mill, 16mm Cutter, Solid Carbide, 16 mm Shank, 32mm Cut

Introducing the Dormer's multi-application MC-X solid carbide end mills cutters that are manufactured from micro-grain, high-quality carbide to provide increased hardness and toughness for excellent wear-resistance and long tool life. The flute geometry of the 4 flute cutters is capable of contouring (semi-finishing and finishing), profile milling, ramping and slotting operations. All the cutters are centre cutting and have a robust chamfer design on the end teeth to reduce chipping, particularly important on materials with low machinability. As the MC-X cutters are multi-application one tool can be used in many different materials, which helps to further reduce costs and inventory. Flutes designed for optimum tool life, good swarf evacuation and continuous, trouble-free machining operation.

• Shank - DIN6535 HA

The end mill removes material by their movement within the milling machine or from the cutter’s shape. The number of flutes (spirals on the end mill) give different results e.g.:
• 2 flute design allows for more chip carrying capacity and is used primarily in slotting and pocketing non-ferrous materials
• 3 flute design have the same flute space as two flutes, but also have a larger cross-section for greater strength. They are used for pocketing and slotting ferrous and nonferrous materials.
• 4, 5, 6 and 8 flute designs allow for faster feed rates, but due to the reduced flute space, chip removal may be a problem. They produce a much finer finish than two and three flute tools. Ideal for peripheral and finish milling.

End mills are used for:
• profiling
• milling,
• side milling
• face milling,
• tracer milling,
• plunge milling
• ramping
• semi-finishing
• finishing

What is this end mill made from?
The MC-X series end mills from Dormer are manufactured from a high-quality carbide.

Are carbide end mills better than HSS?
Carbide end mills provide better rigidity and can be run 2-3X faster than HSS.
