TurboCut PRO 2 Flute Compression

 

Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating is a nano-composite coating that has unique properties of natural diamond such as low friction, high hardness, and high corrosion resistance. These special characteristics make DLC coated tools highly suitable for machining materials that could be difficult to machine with uncoated end mills.

 

Here are a few key things to know about DLC end mills:

 

Longer Tool Life

The DLC coating significantly improves the endurance of the cutting tool, allowing it to withstand high-speed machining for extended periods. The tool life of a DLC-coated end mill can be several times that of an uncoated tool, depending on the application.

Reduced Friction

DLC coatings exhibit a very low coefficient of friction, which reduces heat generation during cutting. This in turn helps to prolong tool life and improve surface finishes.

High Speed Machining

Because of their heat resistance and durability, DLC-coated end mills are often used in high-speed machining applications.

Non-Ferrous Materials

DLC-coated end mills are particularly effective when machining non-ferrous materials such as aluminum or copper alloys, graphite, composites, and certain types of plastics. They are not typically used for steel or other ferrous materials because the high temperatures generated can degrade the coating.

Improved Surface Finish

Due to their hardness and low friction, DLC-coated end mills can provide better surface finishes, which is beneficial in applications where aesthetic appearance or precise tolerances are important.

Endmill Size	Total Overall Length
3.175x22x3.175mm	50mm
4x25x4mm	50mm
6x32x6m	75mm
8x45x8mm	100mm

The 10% bulk discount applies only when you purchase 10 or more of the same type of endmill, in the same transaction.

You can mix sizes within that type, but all 10 must be the same endmill type.

Orders combining different endmill types to make up 10 units do not qualify for the discount.
