CGS Tool Hi-Velocity Series: High-Performance Carbide End Mills
The Hi-Velocity (HV) Series from CGS Tool represents a line of high-performance solid carbide end mills designed for precision and efficiency in CNC machining. Engineered with a variable helix and offset index design, these end mills minimize chatter and harmonics, resulting in superior surface finishes, increased feed rates, and extended tool life. The series is versatile, available in multiple configurations, including two, three, and four flute options, with end styles such as square, ball, and corner radius. Each tool comes standard with an AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride) coating, enhancing performance across a wide range of materials, including steels, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, alloys, Inconel, and select non-ferrous materials. The Hi-Velocity Series is ideal for applications like peripheral and finish milling, offering a combination of durability and precision for demanding machining environments.
Key Features of the Hi-Velocity Series
The CGS Tool Hi-Velocity Series is renowned for its innovative design, featuring a 4-flute, variable helix, and variable index configuration that minimizes chatter and harmonics. This results in smoother cuts, improved surface finishes, and enhanced feed rates, allowing you to maximize productivity while extending tool life. Here’s what sets the Hi-Velocity Series apart:
Variable Helix and Offset Index: Reduces vibration and chatter, ensuring vibration-free machining and superior surface finishes, even at high feed rates over 10 times faster than conventional end mills.
Center-Cutting, High Helix Design: Enables efficient chip evacuation and precise cutting in applications like slotting, profiling, and finishing.
Multiple End Styles: Available in square end (HV140 Series), ball end (HV142 Series), and corner radius (HV143 Series) to suit diverse milling needs, from roughing to precision finishing.
Advanced ALTiN Coating: The aluminum titanium nitride (ALTiN) coating enhances heat resistance and durability, ideal for high-temperature alloys and tough materials like Inconel and titanium. Uncoated options are also available for specific applications.
Wide Range of Sizes: Offered in both metric and imperial sizes, with diameters ranging from 1/8” to 1”, shank sizes up to 1”, and lengths of cut (LOC) from 1/4” to 1-1/2”. Overall lengths (OAL) extend up to 6” for extended reach applications.
Extended Reach Options: Available in longer overall lengths (e.g., 4” to 6” OAL) for deep pocket milling and hard-to-reach areas.
Applications
The Hi-Velocity Series is designed for versatility, excelling in CNC milling applications across a variety of materials and industries. Key applications include:
Steels and Stainless Steel: Achieves high material removal rates with excellent surface finishes.
Titanium and Inconel: Optimized for high-temperature alloys, reducing tool wear and improving cycle times.
Cast Iron and Alloys: Provides consistent performance in tough, abrasive materials.
Select Non-Ferrous Materials: Suitable for specific non-ferrous alloys, offering flexibility for diverse projects.
Whether you’re performing roughing, slotting, peripheral milling, or finishing, the Hi-Velocity Series delivers unmatched performance, making it ideal for industries requiring precision, such as aerospace component manufacturing, medical device production, and automotive machining.
Benefits
