INCH VERSION
 VISION PLUS

Designed for optimum performance in machining hardened steels and ultra hardened materials, Vision Plus carbide
end mills utilize special proprietary substrate materials, patented designs and a truly superb quality coating,
combining a high level of hardness with extremely high stability. This enables maximum metal removal rates in
materials up to 68 HRc, even in dry conditions, saving in coolant costs and protecting the environment.

Perfect solutions for Die & Mold applications.

Reduces machining costs by 50% compared to EDM.
Excellent in long reach and Z–axis milling applications.
Provides outstanding surface finish quality and straightness of deep walls.
Available in many styles, including radius, ball nose, miniature, rib processing and roughing style tools.

⺦⺙⺣⺙⺟⺞ MD A unique pair of carbide end mills - one rougher and one finisher - designed
for optimum productivity in multi- dimensional Die and Mold steel applications and for use in
high speed machining conditions.

⺦⺙⺣⺙⺟⺞ MD is a machining concept. First, rough the part with double the diameter of the
finisher, achieving more than double the stock removal rate. Then finish the part with a uniquely
designed four flute ball nose cutter at very fast speeds and feeds. The result - incredibly fast
stock removal, superior surface finishes and outstanding tool life.
