Specially designed for 2D and 3D CNC profiling and carving in plastic, aluminum, and wood with CNC machines. The high-shear ball nose tips cut smooth 2D and 3D contours with reduced stepping while the proprietary ZrN coating (applied by the physical vapor deposition coating process) provides high resistance to wear, sharper cutting edges, extended tool life and less friction and heat buildup. It can withstand RPM’s up to 60,000 RPMs. A directed air-blast to keep chips away along with cooling the tool and work piece are always welcome.
Ideal for 2D & 3D carving, deep profiling, dimensional signage, 3D millwork, and 2D and 3D contouring, profiling, modeling and pattern making for cabinetry, sign making, furniture making and jewelry mold making.
Benefits of Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) Coating:
- Creates a harder and tougher cutting edge allows for a prolonged cutting edge life and helps to prevent the build-up of material in the flutes while cutting.
- Have the tendency to run/spin much faster than an uncoated tool.
- Optimized flute geometry and low Total Indicated Runout (TIR) guarantees clean cuts, essentially eliminates sanding and reduces chatter (where the machine or work piece vibrates) under high chip loads (when used with low TIR spindles).
- High flute volume supports high feed rates and chip loads.
- High aspect ratio for single pass deep-reach cutting.
- Flute geometry optimized for cutting sign foam, sign board, hardwoods, thermoplastics and phenolic composites.
