Ferocious Series

Ferocious 2000 Series by CGS Tool: High-Performance Carbide End Mills

The Ferocious 2000 Series from CGS Tool is a line of high-performance solid carbide end mills engineered for high-speed milling of aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. Renowned for their industry-leading chip load and feed rates, these 2-flute, 55-degree high-helix end mills are designed to maximize material removal, reduce cycle times, and deliver exceptional surface finishes in CNC machining applications. Manufactured in the USA by CGS Tool, a leader in carbide cutting tools since 1974, the Ferocious 2000 Series is a go-to solution for industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical manufacturing.

Key Features of the Ferocious 2000 Series

  • 55-Degree High Helix Design: The high-helix geometry minimizes tool deflection and enhances chip evacuation, enabling faster feeds and speeds for aluminum and non-ferrous materials. This design ensures smooth cutting and superior surface finishes.
  • 2-Flute Configuration: Optimized for high-speed milling, the 2-flute design maximizes chip load per tooth, allowing for aggressive material removal in soft materials like aluminum and plastics.
  • Versatile End Styles: Available in square end and corner radius configurations to suit a variety of milling applications, from slotting and profiling to finishing.
  • Coating Options: Choose from uncoated (bright) or ZrN-coated options to enhance tool life and performance, especially in non-ferrous materials. The ZrN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance.
  • High Material Removal Rates: The Ferocious 2000 Series is designed to remove more material than conventional end mills, with feed rates over 100 inches per minute (IPM) in aluminum applications.
  • Wide Range of Sizes: Offered in both imperial and metric sizes, with diameters ranging from 1/8” to 1” and lengths of cut (LOC) up to 4”.

Applications and Benefits

The Ferocious 2000 Series excels in CNC machining environments where speed, precision, and efficiency are critical. Key applications include:

  • Aluminum Milling: Ideal for high-speed milling of aluminum alloys, delivering flawless finishes and reduced cycle times.
  • Non-Ferrous Metals: Performs exceptionally on copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials, minimizing burrs and improving chip flow.
  • Plastics and Composites: Provides clean cuts and excellent surface quality in soft materials, making it a favorite for manufacturing plastic components.
  • Aerospace and Automotive: Perfect for precision machining of lightweight materials used in aerospace components and automotive parts.

Benefits

  • Increased Productivity: Achieve higher feed rates and chip loads, reducing machining time and boosting throughput.
  • Superior Surface Finishes: The high-helix design and optional ZrN coating ensure smooth, polished surfaces, minimizing secondary finishing processes.
  • Extended Tool Life: Advanced carbide materials and coatings enhance durability, even in high-speed applications.
  • Versatility: Suitable for both roughing and finishing operations, reducing the need for multiple tools.
