Efficiently mill titanium and cobalt chrome implants with Seco JH724-JH726 end mills
Learn how Seco JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mills provide access to machine condyle surfaces on titanium femoral knee implants.Discover the product range
Major medical OEMs are quickly transitioning from cobalt chrome to titanium for femoral knee implants, and those must be milled because the material cannot be ground. Manufacturers like you are now under pressure to implement machining strategies to overcome specific titanium femoral knee implant milling challenges. A cost-effective approach is the use of Seco JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mills with profile radii design that allow you to both finish condyle surfaces and blend surfaces with the same tool to reduce tooling costs and inventory. With large profile radii, these cutters allow for bigger stepovers while cutting at the same speeds as ball-nose end mills for shorter part cycle times and superior medical-grade surface finishes. Smaller tool tip radii provide reach into tight implant cavities.
Your challenge:
Cost-effectively mill femoral knee implants made from titanium that is impossible to grind.
The Seco solution:
Semi-finish and finish femoral condyle knee implant surfaces with one JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mill.
Your challenge:
Access and machine hard-to-reach patellar grooves on femoral implants.
The Seco solution:
Smaller than regular barrel tools, Seco JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mills are larger than ball nose end mills.

Medical implants must have perfect surface finishes. Until now, grinding has been the only way to achieve them – but titanium implants do not allow for grinding. To achieve flawless milled condyle femoral knee implant surfaces, Seco JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mills with multiple profile radii geometry allow you to machine main condyle surface for improved productivity, and then finish the blend radii with the same tool to eliminate any surface height deviations from tool changes and any visual transitions/imperfections on the part surface.
Your challenge:
Prevent visual imperfections on femoral surfaces from tool changes.
The Seco solution:
JH724-726 medical barrel solid end mills eliminate the need for multiple tool changes between semi-finishing and finishing operations to ensure consistently smooth part surfaces.
Your challenge:
Increase milling stepover width to shorten machining cycle times.
The Seco solution:
Special multiple radii geometries on JH724-JH726 cutting profiles allow for larger milling stepovers to prevent any visual transition marks on part surfaces.
Single-use tools have shorter overall working lives, which translates into less parts per tool and greater tooling costs that can shrink your profit margins, especially when milling titanium or cobalt chrome knee implants. With medical specific substrates, multi-radii geometries and HXT tool coatings, the reconditionable Seco JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mills enable you not only to reduce tooling costs and inventories, but also to lower cost per part while ensuring peak tool condition for both semi-finishing and finishing condyle surfaces on knee implants with the same tool.
Your challenge:
Amortize tooling costs as quickly as possible.
The Seco solution:
Reconditionable Seco JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mills allow you to machine more medical implants with less tooling inventory.
Your challenge:
Reduce scrap caused by worn tools.
The Seco solution:
Reconditioning keeps your Seco JH724-JH726 medical barrel solid end mills in top condition to generate superior milled surface finishes.
