Micro-grained ball nose cutter mills hard steels
Manufactured from ultra wear resistant micro grain carbide, a two flute ball nosed, straight shank cutter is designed to machine steels hardened to 65 Rockwell C.
The Hanita range has been designed for cutting a host of difficult materials including graphite and steels hardened to 60 Rockwell C at speeds up to 150m/min.
The cutters consist of a rigid shank and long neck for strength and toughness while conducting a number of surface machining operations.
The four series in the range all come with the option of high quality TiAIN for machining hard materials or a Diamond Like Coating (DLC) specifically for machining graphite, aluminium and materials with a high silicone content.

Coated carbide roughers last longer on hard steels
Carbide roughing cutters, coated with AlTiN to reduce friction and improve lubrication, provide increased tool life while machining hardened steels at speeds ranging up to 200m/min.
The range includes the 7N01 series 2 flute, short neck ball nosed end mill.
The 7N01 series is available in sizes from 0.3mm to 6mm rising in 0.1mm increments with a 50mm overall length and a shank diameter of 6mm.
The cutters have a reach length ranging from 1.5mm to 9mm with a neck diameter ranging from 0.45mm to 5.85mm.
To accompany the 7N01 cutter, is the 7N02, 2 flute short neck square end mill.
The 7N02 series is capable of cutting materials up to 60 Rockwell C at 15 to 30m/min and is available from 0.2mm to 2.5mm diameter with a reach up to 5mm.
Another cutter in the series is the 2 flute, very long neck 7N12 square end cutter.
The 7N12 series is available in diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 2.5mm with a reach length of up to 12.5mm and an overall cutter length of 60mm.
It is complimented by the 7N22 series, 2 flute extra long neck square end mill.
This series is available in diameters ranging from 0.4mm to 3mm with differing lengths of reach.
ITC will also exhibit the new range of Hanita 'Vision' end mills.
The new series has been designed to increase tool life while machining hardened steels up to 67 Rockwell C at speeds ranging up to 200m/min.
The range provides a performance improvement of up to 200% when compared to competitor products whilst giving a surface finish of 63Ra.
It is available in sizes from 4mm to 25mm diameter with a length of cut ranging from 8mm to 45mm.
The AlTiN coating combined with the optimal number of flutes for individual cutter diameters ensures it performs exceptionally well under wet and dry conditions on difficult to cut materials.
ITC is the sole UK agent and stockist of the Hanita range.
The company holds vast quantities of all products in stock and it will demonstrate the capabilities of the range at MACH 2004 on a Matsuura machining centre on stand 4751.
MACH 2004 - April 19-23 - NEC Birmingham, UK.
Stand 4751.
