Taper End Mills Definition
Taper End Mills are conical cutting tools for precision deep groove milling, 3D contour machining, and angled surfaces (e.g. injection molds). The tapered design reduces vibration by 40% vs straight end mills, ensuring stability on hardened steel, titanium alloys, and stainless steel. Widely used in aerospace and automotive mold manufacturing.
Core Advantages
✅ Extended Tool Life & Wear Resistance
- Nano-grade carbide substrate + TiAlN/AlCrN coating (ISO 9001-certified)
- 3X longer lifespan than standard end mills, reducing tool change frequency
✅ Multi-Material Compatibility
- Machines 10+ materials: 鋼鉄, stainless steel, aluminum (6061/7075), titanium (Ti6Al4V), hardened steel (HRCの 50+)
- One-tool solution cuts inventory costs
✅ Vibration Reduction & Precision
- 1°–15° taper angles (±0.02mm tolerance) + 30°–45° helix angles
- Achieves Ra0.4 surface finish on CNC mills
✅ Optimized Chip Evacuation
- 2–6 flutes with deep chip pockets
- Prevents built-up edge (BUE) and workpiece damage
✅ Custom Configurations
- シャンク: Straight / Weldon lock
- 材料: Carbide / HSSの
- コーティング: Uncoated / TiAlNの / TiCN / DLC (free sample testing)
