CGS Tool Ferocious 3X Series: High-Performance Carbide End Mills

Discover the CGS Tool Ferocious 3X Series, a line of high-performance solid carbide end mills engineered for superior CNC machining of aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. Designed and manufactured in the USA by CGS Tool, a leader in carbide tooling since 1974, the Ferocious 3X 5300 Series combines innovative design with advanced technology to deliver exceptional results in milling applications. With features like variable helix geometry, specialized coatings, and robust construction, these end mills are built to reduce chatter, enhance surface finishes, and maximize material removal rates.

Key Features of the Ferocious 3X Series

  • 3-Flute Design: The three-flute configuration balances chip evacuation and tool strength, making it ideal for aggressive material removal in aluminum and non-ferrous materials.
  • Variable Helix and Pitch: Unique variable helix and pitch geometry minimizes chatter and harmonics, ensuring smoother cuts and remarkable surface finishes even at extreme feeds.
  • Wiper End Geometry: Special wiper end design enhances surface quality, reducing the need for secondary finishing operations.
  • Advanced Coatings: Available with ZrN (Zirconium Nitride) and TiB2 coatings to improve wear resistance and optimize performance in non-ferrous materials. Uncoated options are also available for specific applications.
  • Versatile End Styles: Choose from square end, corner radius, or ball nose options to suit a variety of milling tasks, including contouring, profiling, and slotting.
  • Standard, Long, and Xtra Long Lengths: Available in multiple lengths to accommodate deep pocket milling and extended reach applications.
  • Metric and Imperial Sizes: Offered in both metric and imperial dimensions to meet global manufacturing standards.
  • High Feed Rates: The Ferocious 3X Series achieves feed rates over 10 times faster than conventional end mills, significantly reducing cycle times.
