Extra short micro cutters mill hard
materials
Micro-milling cutter has an extra-short flute length that increases the rigidity of the tool and so allows for high feed rates to be achieved as well as enhancing tool life, in hard materials.
Micro-milling cutter has an extra-short flute length that increases the rigidity of the tool and so allows for high feed rates to be achieved as well as enhancing tool life, in hard materials Dixi Outils already has a wide range of micro-tools to offer, from standard drills (for diameters from 0.10mm onwards), centring, stepped drilling, to special drills (from diameters of 0.06mm onwards), and standard milling (from diameters of 0.10mm onwards) as well as special milling cutters

Part-off and groove in the 'dry'
Advanced Carbide Tooling has introduced Futura-coated carbide inserts for its 2.2 parting-off and grooving system, allowing dry machining as well as higher cutting speeds.
Largest range of parting-off and grooving tools
A claim that its Mircona parting-off and grooving tools is the largest single range currently available from any manufacturer is being made by the UK supplier Advanced Carbide Tooling
The new Dixi 7240 end milling cutter neatly rounds off this range and confirms the leading position which Dixi Outils holds in this sector.
Dixi 7240 is a micro-milling cutter with an extra-short flute length.
This characteristic increases the rigidity of the tool and so allows for high feed rates to be achieved as well as enhancing tool life, in particular in hard materials such as stainless steels or titanium.
Dixi Outils can provide this range from stock, from diameters 0.10mm in increments of 0.05mm up to 2mm diameter, then every 0.10mm up to diameter 2.50mm, and then every 0.50mm up to diameter 5.50mm.
Application example: * Material: Stainless steel 316L (1.4435).
* Milling cutter diameter 7240 TiALN: 0.50mm.
* Depth of slot: 0.10mm.
* Cutting speed: 80m/min.
* Rotation: 50,000 rev/min.
* Radial advance: 240mm/min.
* Machined length: 117 metres, or more than 8 hours of machining.
In view of the constant miniaturisation of components taking place in our world, the micro-tool market is constantly developing, particularly in sectors such as electronics, connection technology, mould making, and so on.
Dixi Outils aims to remain the unchallenged reference in this sector of the market.
Something that can only be achieved by constantly listening to the market's needs and providing a complete product range to meet them.
Dixi Outils leading Swiss manufacturers of solid carbide tools for more than 50 years, have long been the suppliers of choice on the micro-tools market.
The geographical location of Dixi Outils, in the centre of the Jura arc, world-famous for its makers of clocks and watches as well as its micro-mechanics industry, is the natural setting for an exceptional development base in the micro-tool sector.
