CGS Tool VMAX (MX) Series: High-Performance Carbide End Mills
Discover the VMAX (MX) Series from CGS Tool, a leading American manufacturer of premium solid carbide end mills designed for high-performance CNC machining. Engineered for precision and durability, the VMAX Series is optimized for milling hardened steels, exotic alloys, and challenging materials like Inconel, Hastelloy, stainless steel, titanium, and cast iron. With advanced variable helix and pitch designs, these end mills reduce chatter and harmonics, delivering superior surface finishes, faster feed rates, and extended tool life.
Key Features of the VMAX (MX) Series
The VMAX (MX) Series is crafted to meet the demands of industries such as aerospace, mold making, die making, medical machining, and general-purpose CNC milling. Available in 4-flute and 6-flute configurations, these end mills are built to tackle tough applications with ease.
- Variable Helix and Pitch Design: The innovative variable helix and offset index geometry minimizes vibrations, reducing chatter and harmonics for smoother cuts and improved surface quality.
- Advanced naCRo Coating: Most VMAX (MX) Series end mills feature a naCRo coating, enhancing wear resistance and thermal stability for machining high-temperature alloys and hardened steels. Select models also offer ALTiN or uncoated options for specific applications.
- Square and Corner Radius Ends: Choose from square end styles for general milling or corner radius ends (e.g., .015, .030, .060, .090) for added strength and reduced edge chipping in demanding operations.
- High-Performance Applications: Ideal for milling hardened steels (up to 60 HRC), stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, and other exotic alloys, making it a go-to choice for precision machining.
Benefits of the VMAX (MX) Series
- Enhanced Tool Life: The variable helix and naCRo coating work together to reduce wear, allowing for longer tool life even in aggressive machining conditions.
- Improved Surface Finishes: The design minimizes vibrations, resulting in smoother, high-quality surface finishes that reduce the need for secondary operations.
- Faster Feed Rates: Optimized geometry supports higher feed rates, increasing productivity and reducing cycle times in CNC milling.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials and applications, from roughing to finishing, making it a versatile addition to any machine shop.
