End mills for copper and copper EDM technology

The surface quality and minimizing burs are two of the most important demands on copper EDM applications. The combination of a sharp geometry, low axial forces and a superior low friction coating provide that!

New developments:

• New coating
• Low friction coefficient
• Extreme hardness
• Ultra thin
• VHC mirror finish grinding

Tips:
To improve the surface quality and toollife: Use emulsion

• Side milling: small a(e) and large a(p)
• Slotting: small a(p)

VHC end mill technology for applications on (EDM) copper

• VHKC: 4 flute ballnose geometry
• VHTC: 4 flute torus geometry
• VHSC: 3 flute sharp geometry
• VHSCR: 3 flute geometry with corner radius
• VHMC: Micro end mills for copper
• VHMCK: Micro ballnose end mills for copper

Advantages:

• Minimize or exclude burrs on work piece
• Excellent surface quality & accuracy
• High feed rates

"The Van Hoorn Carbide copper program is also very well suited for milling synthetics."
