MITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORPORATION, Metalworking Solutions Company (Company President: Kazuo Ohara, Address: Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku Tokyo) announces the launch of 86 additional items of square and corner radius end mills to the IMPACT MIRACLE series for high hardness steel machining.
They will go on sale on October 1^st.

The IMPACT MIRACLE end mill series has been highly praised by many customers as end mills that offer excellent abrasion resistance, making them ideal for machining high hardness steels.

To meet the diverse machining needs of the metal cutting industry, Mitsubishi Materials announces the launch of additional 2 and 4 flute anti-vibration square corner end mills, the VFR2MV and VFR4MV types. Four and 6 flute square corner end mills, the VFRSD, VFRMD, VFRLD types, and 6-flute corner radius end mills, the VFRSDRB, and VFRMDRB types.

Main features of the IMPACT MIRACLE Revolution end mills

• The combination of the newly developed (Al, Cr, Si)N coating with excellent oxidation resistance and lubricity and the (Al, Ti, Si)N coating with excellent wear resistance and adhesion of the coating to the substrate properties makes them the first choice for machining high-hardness steels.

• Vibration control square corner end mills, the VFR2MV and VFR4MV types suppress chatter and vibration with wide flutes and an unequal pitch and a highly rigid centre core cross section. The positive rake angle design provides low cutting resistance and good component surface finishes.

• The VFRSD, VFRMD, VFRLD, VFRSDRB and VFRMDRB end mills are high-helix flute types for improved sharpness, and the use of negative rake cutting edges improves chipping resistance.
