MITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORPORATION Metalworking solutions company (Company President : Tetsuya Tanaka Address : Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has added iMX-B4WH-S, a 4 flute lollipop geometry head type with coolant holes to the series of iMX exchangeable head end mills.

The iMX series has received a favourable reception in the market place as a revolutionary end mill system that provides excellent economy and enables efficiency, high accuracy and rigidity by combining the advantages of both solid carbide and indexable end mills. Overall rigidity close to that of solid type end mills is realised because the clamping faces of the holder and head are both manufactured from carbide.

The iMX end mill series has been further expanded to include iMX-B4WH-S, a 4 flute lollipop shaped head with through coolant holes. It features a wide cutting edge of 240° for machining of internal curved surfaces and undercuts in 5-axis machining.

Features of the iMX-B4WH-S

1. A true round ball cutting edge that extends 240º, enables multifunctional machining of internally curved surfaces and undercuts in 5-axis machining.

2. The high helix edge geometry reduces cutting resistance. This results in reduced chatter and vibration even when machining with a long tool overhang.

3. A stable supply of coolant is maintained even when machining components with complex geometries.
