Multifunctional end mill—Kyocera, booth E-2240

Modern Machine Shop, August, 2004

The Ultra Drill Mill is a multifunctional end mill that is two-flute effective for milling, allowing each insert to share an equal load. The mill can drill, slot, helical mill and plunge mill. It is said to feature good chip evacuation when drilling and slant milling. The company says the toolholder's silver coating provides durability, while the PVD-coated carbide grade PR830 insert provides stable machining and a long tool life. The mill is available in six sizes, ranging from 5/8" to a 2" cutting diameter. Each kit contains one toolholder, six-side cutting inserts and two center cutting inserts.
