Emuge Introduces "Multi-Cut: High-Performance End Mills Designed for Universal Milling Applications

Unique, Advanced Tool Design Permits Economical Cutting of a Wide Range of Materials.

WEST BOYLSTON, MA USA (March 15, 2007) - Today, Emuge Corp. has introduced the MULTI-Cut™ line of high-performance solid carbide roughing end mills. MULTI-Cut Tools are engineered for optimum performance in a wide variety of materials such as cast iron, titanium, titanium alloys, and steel materials up to 44Rc hardness. Due to the progressive edge profile and variable helix technology, MULTI-Cut can achieve material removal rates five to ten times that of conventional end mills. For example, a ½" diameter tool machining P20 steel is capable of removing in excess of 20 cubic inches of material per minute.

MULTI-Cut Tools are made from select micro-grain carbide to provide maximum cutting performance and tool life. They feature variable flute spacing and pitch to minimize vibrations, even at high speeds and aggressive cutting depths. The unique chip-breaker technology provides optimum chip evacuation and a patented roughing profile enables short-duration chip contact. A flattened shank design ensures stability in tool clamping, for enhanced process safety.
