Mitsubishi Materials has launched a dedicated range of tool holders to complement the huge range of geometries and types available in the iMX series of solid carbide exchangeable end mills.

The popular MC6100 range of inserts has been expanded to include MC6135, a tough grade for applications ranging from continuous turning through to rough and interrupted cutting. This new grade will complement the existing range and provide end users a choice to machine a vast array of steels and of different applications. MC6135 utilises Industry-leading crystal orientation control technology that enables thinner but still impact-resistant coatings that provide improved chipping and wear resistance. Such features are optimal for use on the tough MC6135 grade. Additionally the coating is 50 % thinner compared to previous types.

Mitsubishi Materials reknowned range of solid carbide end mills includes the Alimaster series, designed specifically for ultra high efficiency milling of aluminium alloys.
