DLC 2 flute compression cutter endmill

TurboCut PRO 2 Flute Compression

PriceFrom $14.00
GST Included
 
All of our TurboCut endmills are sent via Australia post express for speedy replacement
 
A compression cutter endmill starts with a 4mm up cut section then has the rest of the cutting area a downcut, they are specifically designed to leave a clean finish on both top and bottom surfaces when profile cutting.

Our PRO endmill range are made using high grade tungsten carbide coated a specialized DLC (diamond like coating) designed to out last and out perform conventional uncoated carbide cutters. The coating is designed to reduce wear and tear and dissipate heat leaving your jobs with a crisp clean finish. 
 
These endmills are rated for full commercial and industrial use on a regular basis.
 
Recommended for
  • Wood (All types and hardnesses)
 
Please Note
Compression cutters like to run a bit faster than other wood cutting bit to get the best finish along the side of your material.
 
Please be aware that the 8mm variants of these endmills will not fit in an ER11 collet such as those that are standard with a CNC3D QueenBee or QB2 machine. The maximum size cutting bit that will fit in your ER11 collet is 7mm.

  • What is DLC coating?

     

    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.
