VQ, the top of the range series of carbide end mills from Mitsubishi Materials now includes 4 new innovative types. These latest additions have been specifically designed for specialised applications in difficult-to-cut and stainless steel materials.

For the effective light to medium continuous and interrupted turning of high hardened steels, Mitsubishi Materials has developed a new and innovative coated PCBN insert grade, BC8220.

Mitsubishi Materials reknowned range of solid carbide end mills includes the Alimaster series, designed specifically for ultra high efficiency milling of aluminium alloys. The latest additions to the series are a 3 flute square corner type the A3SA / DLC3SA, and the A3SARB / DLC3SARB, a 3 flute corner radius type. Both types are available with the new DLC coating and also uncoated.

Mitsubishi Materials has designed and developed a new grade, MC6125, that is highly versatile and can perform at the highest level across an increased range of different applications. This enables an easy first choice start point when choosing an insert for turning steels and thereby reduces the inventory levels of inserts.
