Cole Carbide Industries Inc. highlights the Quad Force Machining (QFM) tooling system from Millstar to provide maximum flexibility by way of its innovative hybrid geometry. This versatile line of solid carbide end mills is capable of four cutting actions in a single tool, making it a cost-efficient solution for diverse application challenges that face the mold and die industry.
QFM’s hybrid design combines high-feed geometry, variable flute geometry, variable helix geometry and offset geometry. This unique combination enables users to seamlessly integrate multiple machining operations including high feed machining, trochoidal machining, side/slot milling and plunge milling.
The company says Millstar’s QFM end mills offer superior metal removal rates in soft or hard tool/die steels, stainless steels and titanium. Their state-of-the-art geometry provides accuracy and repeatability while achieving greater depth of cut and preventing side vibrations. The durable QFM tooling system also features a multi-layer, hybrid nanocoating for excellent heat resistance and high hardness, which facilitates higher productivity and longer tool life.
Quad Force Machining end mills are competitively priced, made in the United State and supported by Millstar’s team of production experts to ensure optimal performance and efficiency for any application.
