Solid carbide diamond coated cutters
extend life
Solid carbide diamond coated end mills can efficiently machine graphite and other similarly abrasive materials with much improved tool life when compared to equivalent carbide tools.
At MACH 2006 on stand 4110, tooling manufacturer ITC will exhibit its exceptional range of solid carbide diamond coated cutters The popularity and capability of the 2071 and 2072 series high wear resistant micro grain carbide end mills has seen ITC add a number of new products to Cyber Series diamond coated product line

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.
Like the current products in the range, the phenomenal new 2101 and 2092 series both have a 30 deg helix specifically designed for machining graphite.
The new 2101 and 2092 series end mills can efficiently machine graphite and other similarly abrasive materials to provide a significantly improved tool life when compared to equivalent carbide tools.
The new high performance square end 2101 and ball nosed 2092 have attributes similar to the 2071 and 2072 series, however both have smaller shanks making the cutters ideal for accessing difficult and tight situations.

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.
Mill aluminium, brass, at high speeds and feeds
Two flute solid carbide cutter has a 50 degree right hand helix, specifically designed for machining aluminium at extremely high speeds and feeds as well as plastics and brass.
All with two flutes, the 2071 and the 2072 series are available in sizes from 2mm to 12mm in 2mm increments with a length of cut ranging from 7mm to 25mm.
The cutters have a diverse reach ranging from 8mm to 40mm with an overall length of 75mm on cutters up to 6mm.
The success and versatility of these cutters was the inspiration behind the 2101 and the 2092 series.
The new ranges are available in 2, 3, 4 and 5mm diameters with a length of cut ranging from 7 to 13mm.
As with all ITC cutting tools, these remarkable products demonstrate the high rigidity and long tool life associated with all ITC cutters.
Another new addition to the diamond coated range of ITC cutting tools is the 4072 series.
The four flute solid carbide ball nosed 30 deg helix cutter is an exciting addition to the ITC range of diamond coated tools.
Ideal for machining graphite and similarly abrasive materials, the 4072 provides an outstanding surface finish that surpasses that of its competitors.
Available in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12mm diameter increments, the highly efficient 4072 series is guaranteed to be a huge success at MACH 2006.
All cutting tools are manufactured at ITC's state of the art grinding shop in Tamworth, UK.
Company director Peter Graves believes the facility is probably the best equipped in the UK.
ITC operates a workshop that boasts a host of new CNC grinding machines.
With grinding machines from the acknowledged World leaders such as Walter, Schneeberger, Deckel, Rollomatic, and Anca it is difficult to argue.
ITC has invested in computerised optical measuring equipment to maintain the high standards the company is renowned for and its newly installed centralised oil filtration system guarantees that tool grinding takes place under optimum conditions in clean oil to ensure repetitive accuracy.
This impressive CNC manufacturing facility provides the capability to modify tooling to specific requirements with short lead times.
The capabilities of the full range of products will be demonstrated at MACH 2006.
