NEW POW-R-FEED M934 END MILLS DELIVER MORE POWER FOR MACHINING

Virtually impossible to clog; excels at aggressive cutting.

Perrysburg, Ohio, USA – February 2, 2025 – IMCO Carbide Tool recently announced development of a new, highly versatile cutting tool: new POW-R-FEED M934 4-flute end mills cut extremely aggressive tool paths in a wide range of materials machine shops use most – steel (all types), titanium, plastics, brass, bronze, even aluminum.

“As always, our primary goal is to create or improve cutting tools to help our customers achieve their goals. This new extension of the POW-R-FEED M9 series actually exceeded our expectations,” said Matt Osburn, Vice President, Technical Director for IMCO.

“These new M934 cutters not only prevent chip clogging, which cuts a lot of downtime; they’re far superior to other 4-flutes at ramping and helical entry; they’re incredibly versatile at performing any operation for a 4-fluter, and they get higher performance from machining centers to maximize output, regardless of horsepower.”

Masterfully versatile, can-do tools

While M934 cutters easily tackle any operation any legacy 4-flute mill can, they also can perform the extremely aggressive cuts and complex moves legacy 4-flute cutters can’t. Also effective in HEM tool paths, M934 cutters ensure smooth, clog-free operation in 3- to 5-axis machines. So, whatever you need from a 4-flute end mill, M934 cutters can do it at faster feed rates, reduced cycle times and greater profits.

“With highly popular 20 horsepower 40 taper machines, the M934 cutter actually maximizes the machines’ output,” explained Steve Avers, IMCO’s Technical Support Manager. “One of the best things about these cutters is the free cutting action. This keeps the cutter turning at high speed and the chips flying. This design eliminates cutting-zone barriers to higher productivity, so machines can run at higher speeds, crank out more parts and produce to its upper capacity limits.

“It works this way because we designed them to work this way,” Avers said. “Aggressive flute and end-face geometries and an exclusive super-slick AlTiSN coating work as a system to keep those chips moving. So, you get higher feeds and metal removal rates, and better output all shift, all day.”

POW-R-FEED M934 cutters’ unique flute and core designs also open the door for extremely aggressive tool paths, stepovers and depths. The core is super-tuff carbide with a business end that offers fine cutting edges with amazing strength plus a wiper flat end for smooth floor finishes. All edges are prepped for long, long life.

POW-R-FEED M934 end mills are the latest extension of IMCO’s POW-R-FEED M9 line of workhorse cutting tools. And M934 cutters are very affordable alternatives to competitors’ high-performance tools for machining these metals, Osburn said, saving customers even more.

“As with other tools in this line,” Osburn said, “the price-to-performance ratio is exceptional.

“We do whatever it takes to give our  customers the edge and help them achieve higher productivity and profitability. Always have. Always will.”
