Leading cutting tool manufacturer, WIDIA™, has announced the addition of metric VariMill™ chip splitters-end mills to its popular ‘Hanita’ brand, that helps companies in their high-performance tooling solutions, increasing the accessibility of efficient dynamic milling tools to customers in general engineering, automotive and aerospace industries.
The new metric VariMill chip splitters feature a design that actively controls chip size resulting in easier chip evacuation in deep cavities, WIDIA™ wrote in a statement.
The end mills include five- and seven-flute configurations from 8mm-20mm metric standard diameters. The five-flute tool maximises performance in steel materials while the seven-flute tool excels in stainless steel and high-temperature alloys, the statement from WIDIA™ noted.
Commenting on the development, WIDIA and Hanita Global Portfolio Manager for Solid Carbide Milling Tamir Sherif, said, “With the new VariMill Chip Splitters end mills we are giving customers the highest speeds and performance for side milling, shoulder milling and helical milling, and especially for dynamic milling applications.”
He said, “We strive to offer solutions that result in increased productivity and are proud to broaden access to more efficient dynamic milling for our customers.”
