The iMX series is a revolutionary end mill system that enables efficiency, high accuracy and rigidity by combining the advantages of both solid carbide and indexable end mills.
Security and rigidity close to that of a solid type end mill because the clamping faces are all carbide.
Excellent for reduced inventory over a variety of applications due to the exchangeable head.

Highly Versatile Grades

Tool Life Comparison when Machining Flat Surfaces in Inconel 718

EP7020 is a new grade that enables extended tool life when machining difficult-to-cut materials.

Comparison of Tool Rigidity

The double face contact of the carbide head and carbide holder gives an increase in rigidity of 30%.

Strength Comparison when Slot Milling Titanium Alloy

The reliability of the screw fastening is significantly improved when compared to conventional that employ only steel fastenings. It is also able to cope with high cutting loads.

iMX-B4WH-S

iMX-RC4F-C For Titanium Alloys and Stainless Steels

A corner radius roughing type with a center-thru coolant hole. The roughing edge geometry reduces cutting resistance and is effective for low rigidity and long tool overhang applications.

EP8100 Series (EP8110/EP8120)

The combination of the (Al,Cr,Si)N coating (newly-developed),which has a high oxidation temperature and high lubricity,together with the (Al,Ti,Si)N coating,which has better wear resistance and high adhesion, improves machinability of hardened steels up to 65 HRC.

iMX-B3FV

iMX-B2S / iMX-B4S

(Picture is iMX-B2S)

Taper radius end mills(Torus cutter) were conventionally used for turbine blade finishing.
iMX taper radius offers the performance equivalent to solid end mills and it can achieve lower milling cost.

Features

Possible to process using a large pick feed (ae) due to the torus cutter design reduces cusp height.

Features

Standardized ideal shape for different chamfer cutting regions.

Features

Series expansion of efficient steel holders

Developed series of efficient steel holders based on a carbide holder for low cut processing when the overhang is short.

Cutting Performance

3x greater tool life is achieved compared to conventional steel holders.

Duplex corner radius head, 4 flute, For high feed, With coolant holes
