MAXIMIZE YOUR ISO-N MILLING PRODUCTIVITY Machining non-ferrous materials like aluminum, brass, copper, and other ISO-N materials allows manufacturers to push their machines to the limit and achieve the highest metal removal rates (MRR). Push past those limits and achieve higher MRR in ISO-N materials – even with older and less rigid machines – with the upgraded family of A245/A345 solid carbide end mills from Niagara Cutter TM . Re-engineered tool geometry coupled with a new proprietary PVD coating developed by Niagara Cutter result in a minimum of 20% less power consumption, yielding improved cutting efficiency for superior surface finishes and exceptional tool life. Machining aluminum and other gummy ISO-N materials efficiently requires tools that can handle aggressive speeds and feeds and minimize built-up edge, even in less stable machining environments. The existing A245/A345 product line helps to address these issues with a cylindrical margin that minimizes chatter and vibration for superior surface finishes. Now, these products feature a polished K-land and optimized flute shape to control chip formation and reduce friction. Paired with a new proprietary Niagara Cutter ANF (aluminum non-ferrous) PVD coating with the smoothness needed to minimize built- up edge. As a result, manufacturers can reduce cutting forces and power consumption for truly exceptional MRR in ISO-N materials.
