MITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORPORATION, Metalworking Solutions Company (Company President: Kazuo Ohara, Address: Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku Tokyo) has added the VQ4MVM, a 4-flute square end mill for high efficiency machining to the SMART MIRACLE end mill series for high efficiency machining. This latest addition will go on sale on January 5^th 2024.

SMART MIRACLE end mills for high efficiency machining have been evaluated by many customers as a solid carbide end mill that realizes efficiency and high-quality machining over a wide range of applications, ranging from general steels through to difficult-to-cut materials.

The addition of the VQ4MVM 4-flute square end mill will increase the choice for high efficiency machining to the current range.

Main features VQ4MVM are as follows

1. VQ end mills have a modern coating with a unique surface treatment technology to reduce cutting resistance, improve chip evacuation and wear resistance over a wide range of work materials.
    
2. The two-stage gash geometry facilitates good chip evacuation and the high-rigidity design allows for plunging at high ramping angles.
    
3. The combination of the irregular helix flutes and micro-relief angle margin provides improved vibration damping when compared to existing irregular flute products and this also helps to suppress burrs.
