Achieve complex configurations and exceptional finishes with IMCO M213 STREAKERS end mills.
M213 STREAKERS feature three extremely large flute cavities, uniquely designed end face and gashing, and 37-degree helixes to achieve deep cuts and high feed rates. IMCO’s special end face and flute grinds combine to create a free cutting action allowing ag- gressive plunging and ramping moves.
“Milling in aluminum has unique challenges, especially for aerospace parts,” said Matt Osburn, vice presi- dent, technical director for IMCO. “So we’ve focused our advanced technolo- gies on making customers’ work easier and faster with end mills specially designed for milling deep slots, run- ning steep ramp angles with high feed rates on entry moves, and plunging at high feed rates without a peck cycle, and providing a superior surface finish as part of the package.”
IMCO reports that Like all their high-performance end mills, M213 STREAKERS also feature improved corner strength for longer tool life. Micro-fine cutting edges slice cleanly through work material, and high-polish flute faces keep chips moving out of the cutting zone. M213 STREAKERS are available uncoated with square, corner radius and ball nose ends, as well as chip management system (CMS) and neck relief options.
IMCO’s online ToolBot is avail- able 24/7 to generate fast, easy and customizable cutting parameters. Just answer the prompts and get your re- sults, customized for your machining task and machine.
