BENEFITS OF HARD MILLING IN MOLD AND DIE MANUFACTURING

Gain the ability to rough and finish in a single process with Niagara Cutter’s MBZ215 and MZN410R for hard milling applications. Instead of traditional methods that require multiple setups, including in some cases Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), hard milling helps reduce lead times and increase productivity, by eliminating the multiple setups and difficult polishing processes.

With the increase in Mold and Die manufacturing in the North American market, there is a growing need for a full metric range of MBZ215 and MZN410R/510R products from Niagara Cutter™. Because of this, we have expanded the range to include ball nose end mills from 0.5 mm up to 12 mm in diameter and high feed end mills from 2 mm up to 12 mm in diameter. Both product families are effective in hardened steels from 48-65 HRc, cast irons, and nickel-based superalloys. With these recent additions, the product family’s versatility has now reached new heights in the high-speed hard milling sector.

HIGH-SPEED HARD MILLING WITH MB215, MBZ215, MZ645 & MZ645R

The MBZ215 series of tools were developed to service Mold and Die hard milling and lead to success in high-speed milling. They are designed for maximum performance in alloy and tool steels from 48 HRc to 65 HRc. They perform best when used in rough or finish copy milling operations. These end mills are produced from an advanced micro-grain carbide substrate and offered with high heat and abrasion-resistant AlTiN coating.

HIGH FEED HARD MILLING WITH MZN410R & MZN510R

The MZN410R and MZN510R are designed to maximize productivity in hardened steels and super alloys when high feed milling. These end mills feature an optimized substrate, geometry, and coating to offer superior performance and process reliability. These AlTiN coated end mills are effective in hardened steels, cast irons, and nickel-based super alloys. A typical application for this end mill is when machining hardened tool steels used in mold & die components.
