Product Overview
The CGS Tool MX160-3125 is basically a 5/16” diameter 6-flute solid-car bide square end mill, made for those high performance machining jobs where you’re working with hardened steels, stainless steels , titanium Inconel , and other more exotic alloys. It’s part of the VMAX MX160 Series, and the idea here is steady stability while cutting, faster metal removal, and a cleaner surface finish even when your CNC milling environment gets pretty demanding.
On the MX160-3125 itself, you get a variable helix plus variable pitch kind of geometry. That combination helps reduce chatter and harmonic vibration when you’re doing aggressive cutting. There’s also a premium nACRo high-performance coating on it, which gives strong heat resistance and solid wear protection. So, tool life improves, and you can expect dependable performance even when you run higher cutting speeds and feed rates.
