Circle Segment and Cut & Form End Mills

In Booth 5349, Emuge Corporation (West Boylston, MA) will be highlighting a wide range of high performance tools, in addition to debuting their recently introduced “Circle-Segment” cutters, and their Cut & Form solid carbide finishing end mills. Circle-segment end mills are designed to enable substantially more material removal with fewer passes in five-axis machining, over 80 percent cycle time reductions and up to 50 percent smoother surface finishes. Circle-segment tools are a totally new end mill design exclusive to Emuge. These high-performance tools, ideal for machining turbine blades, impellers, blisks and in mold making applications, feature unique forms with large radii in the cutting area of the mills, allowing a larger axial depth of cut during pre-finishing and finishing operations.

Cut & Form Solid Carbide Finishing End Mills feature a patented tool geometry that performs two functions: cutting and polishing in one operation to generating significant manufacturing time reduction and cost savings. The tools’ dual functionality is attributed to a unique design that incorporates three cutting edges to remove material and three burnishing edges to compact the material, producing polished mirror surfaces as fine as 0.08 μm Ra. These high-performance tools are ideal for trimming 2D contours in non-ferrous materials, such as aluminum and copper, and for the medical, jewelry, food and electronics industries.
